In 1979 book editor William Targ founded Targ Editions, a one-man operation that published
books by contemporary authors, poets, and playwrights. There are twenty-five Targ
Editions volumes, each a limited edition produced by letter press. Targ Editions includes
work by Henry Roth, Saul Bellow, John Updike, Tennessee Williams, and Ray Bradbury.
The Targ Editions Archive documents the publication of the Targ Editions books, through
correspondence with authors, agents, printers, records of financial transactions,
order requests from book sellers and collectors, press clippings and book reviews,
and production materials such as manuscripts, paper samples, unbound signatures, and
author photographs.
