Oak Knoll Books and Press

Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 in Newark, Delaware by Robert D. (Bob) Fleck Jr.

[10][11] In addition to the catalogs and publications related to the various parts of the firm for a time the business also published a general newsletter called Oak Leaves.

Some notable antiquarian book catalogs have included: Oak Knoll Press was founded in 1978 and has served as a publisher of original works, has reprinted out of print classics, and has served as a distributor for other publisher's works in the fields of book history and bibliography.

Publishing directors of Oak Knoll Press have included Paul Wakeman (1988–1996), John von Hoelle (1996–2006), Mark Parker Miller (started 2006) and later Matthew Young.

[15] In 1991 Oak Knoll Press started co-publishing with the British Library and for many years worked closely with their Director of publications David Way.

In 1997 St. Paul's Bibliographies was purchased by Oak Knoll Press who continued many of its series under its own publishing imprint.

In 2000, the Press entered into a partnership with Konstantinos Staikos and published several of his works related to libraries and their history.

Oak Knoll has sponsored a festival devoted to the book arts and fine printing held in New Castle, Delaware.

Held the first weekend in October the festival has typically included: two days of the fine press bookfair, an Oak Knoll bookshop sale, and lectures on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
