Lapp Princess Press was founded by Amy Baker in 1977 as a way to make artists' books more accessible. Most books were published in a uniform 6-inch square format, although each one differs in binding, materials used, etc. Numerous well-known artists were represented in Baker's series, such as Chuck Close, Elizabeth Murray, and James Rosenquist.

Booklets with occasional light toning, edge wear, scuffing, and grime; most with scattered light foxing, Marked Woods with slightly heavier foxing; slipcases with light scuffing, creasing, and foxing, with label on one partially unglued. Very good/very good.
