In operation from 1899 to 1906, the Blue Sky Press printed books strongly influenced by the design aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement. The press was run by Alfred G. Langworthy, Thomas Wood Stevens, and (until 1902) Alden Charles Noble. Langworthy was in charge of typography, while literary and artistic matters were in the hands of Stevens and Noble. Some of the Press's books featured work by prominent designers such as Frederic Goudy and W. A. Dwiggins.
