Last Word Press began with the acquisition of a Chandler & Price platen press in 2005 and a sense of desperation, a need to print a desideratum of books lost to dreams and waking moments. For every bestseller there are a thousand manuscripts consigned to the trash bin or the reject pile. Our mission is to print the impossible.
Located in Olympia, Washington, Last Word Press specializes in offset and letterpress printing, book binding and creative design. Our primary focus is the printing and publication of obscure, esoteric and underground literature, but we’ve been known to print just about anything from business cards, wedding invitations, coloring books, beer labels, stickers, buttons and zines.
The naysayers of the orbis digitalis have long declared the death of the printed word. We refuse to let that happen. For inquiries into our various projects or submissions email us at lastwordpress@gmail.com.

More than ever we believe in the need to invest in the traditions and habits of the printed word, to give voice to the lives and livelihood of a life that cannot be captured in pixels alone, a life that is more than the sum of its reading. With each our own story to tell we must capture that illusive spirit that lives between the lines and after the closing of the book of our days, where we all live past dreams and remembrances of things past.
Long live the word!
R. Roderick Ross,Editor in Chief
Long reviled in the Olympia community for his drunken outbursts and disregard for non-smoking establishments,
R. Roderick Ross is the Editor in Chief of Last Word Press. While known to be of general good cheer, he is a walking contradiction in terms and often yells at trees.
Sky Cosby,
Techno-monkey
While we still haven't found a good use for him, Mr. Cosby continues to insinuate himself into our hearts with cynical barbs and the occasional pun. He can often be found foraging in dark spaces and behind closed doors, where he scavenges for gold.
Kegan Riley,
Book-binder in Residence
We haven't seen Mr. Riley in quite some time, but believe him to have established himself on the island of Malta where he is attempting to convert the heathens to his cause. We don't know what his cause is, but never-the-less we have confidence he will succeed.
Owen Taylor (aka El Goonie),
Resident Malcontent
While Mr. Taylor has few good points and more than your fair share of bad habits, he has a boyish charm that endears him to cockroaches and the occasional dictator. When he is not savaging his friends he can
be found passed out in the garage of a certain Editor in Chief dreaming dreams of world domination...and a girl friend.
Jeremy Cooper,
Resident Author/Psychiatrist
Mr. Cooper is the author of a series of Blacksploitation-Choose-Your-Own-Adventures novels set in the near future. Known for his grace under fire, he often finds himself resolving disputes between the Editor and...well, everyone else.
David Accurso,
Lord of the Dance/Creative Consultant
With his extensive collection of erotic literature and a full liquor cabinet, David provides yet another dose of hedonistic revelry to an already decadent work environment. With his irrepressible charm (and that liquor cabinet), David adds just the right aesthetic to Last Word Press.
Casey Jaywork,
Sensitivity Trainer
While pursuing a career as a self-help guru, Casey has found his faith challenged by, among other things, the constant desire to felate his dog. Unsure of his place in the universe and troubled by his strange desires, Casey has realized his true purpose as night watchman at Last Word Press.
