UpDown Press and Bindery was established in 2009 by Meredith Purvis, with the aim of selling high-quality, handmade books, journals, photo albums, and occasional limited-edition runs of poetry and prose. We’re a small shop, but we are committed to producing beautiful and well-crafted works of art. UpDown is located in Baltimore’s historic neighborhood of Hampden.
