Bridge Press is dedicated to publishing artist's books, broadsides, and etchings joining the prints of Brian D. Cohen and original texts. The press was founded in 1989 at The Putney School in Vermont. Bridge Press derives its name from the bridging of text and image, artist and viewer, author and reader, printer and binder. Fourteen books and ten broadsides have been published by Bridge Press since its inception.

"Visual books offer fruitful possibilities for the continuity, connection, and unfolding of images. Each image is complete in itself, yet linked to every other through the structure of the book. A book reads, travels, exposes, and tells a story.

Text and visual image speak in parallel, through association, synthesis, or divergence. The reader is transported beyond what is written in words or shown in pictures.

The book is a house. It contains and describes a world, creates its own space; it is touched, held, and opened with intimate pleasure in the hands and time of the viewer."
