The celebration, in its fifth year, also includes the release of a report on the small press industry and the Small Press Book Fair, March 24-25, at the Center's 44th St. location. Edith Wharton has been selected as the Small Press Center's Author of the Year, and an exhibit of Wharton's work will be featured at the Book Fair. Additionally, Bill Henderson, publisher of the Pushcart Press, will receive the Poor Richard's Award for outstanding contribution to publishing.
