Located just 25 miles south of Olympia in Centralia, Washington, we print books for local authors and small publishers. We pride ourselves on being the complete source of book design and book printing for the Olympia area. Local Olympia writers have the chance to sit with us to discuss their book projects and tour our production facility. Our staff includes professional book designers, knowledgeable prepress technicians and an experienced bindery and production division to make your book a quality product.
At Gorham Printing you are not just a number lost in a cavern of 24/7 production lines. Being a local family business, our strength is to make your book printing experience as simple and stress free as possible. Except for hardcover and spiral binding, all of our production is accomplished right here in our facility, we won't send your job off to a larger office elsewhere.

Scientists, students, inmates, corrections staff, administrators, and faculty work together on diverse and innovative initiatives. They save tax dollars and natural resources, and help inmates rebuild their lives for the benefit of all.
