LETTERARY / Authors



Letterary Press, LLC is based in Portland, Oregon and is owned and operated by two friends, Cristy and Rebecca. Their friendship dates back two decades when they were working dreary, but entertaining, entry level corporate jobs in downtown. Cristy, always the artist, got into the letterpress business by chance when she solicited quotes for a hand-pressed book for her boyfriend, now husband. After receiving a handful of pricey estimates, Cristy decided to just make the book herself. Of course, that involved some technical schooling, and oh yeah, acquiring a 1,500 lb. 1904 Chandler & Price Old Style Press. It wasn’t long after that Cristy was pressing her own invitations and line of cards under the Grazie Spoon name. Cristy’s longtime friend, Rebecca, loved her work and became one of her first paying customers by enlisting her to class-up her annual Christmas cocktail party with hand-pressed invitations. What a success! In the following years Cristy and Rebecca continued to collaborate on creative holiday party invitations. They always talked about going into business together and finally realized this dream when they purchased the parent distributor for the Grazie Spoon line, Letterary Press, in 2014. In addition to the Grazie Spoon line, they now continue to develop the successful Letterary Press line.
