Biography
A printer by trade, employed by the University of California Press in Berkeley from 1944, Ted Freedman also delighted in printing as a hobby. In 1935, when living in Los Angeles, he borrowed a platen press to publish his first work with the Platen Press imprint, Annunciation by Meridel Le Sueur, in an edition of five hundred copies signed by the author. A gift in August 1944 of a Pilot platen press revived the Platen Press imprint, this time in Orinda, leading to the design and publication of greeting cards and numerous small pieces, many of which were distributed to members of the Typophiles and other organizations interested in fine printing.
