Reprise | Kate Askew, Owner of Yella Dog Press

Up in Your Business with Kerry McCoy

This week on Up In Your Business we revisit my interview with Kate Askew, owner of the Yella Dog Press in Little Rock, AR. Kate is a native of Little Rock who graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1985. She worked for many years as a book, paper, and ephemera specialist for estate sales, and in 2002, she started her own business buying and selling rare printed materials. Eventually, buying and collecting antique texts led her to a desire to create her own. Kate saw a printing press for sale in the classifieds of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and purchased it, along with several fonts of type. Using antique type fonts dating as far back as 1856, Kate creates posters, cards, coasters, and more on a 1903 Chandler & Price platen press and a 1940 Vandercook IV flatbed proof press.
