The Windhover Press was a private press operated by the University of Iowa from 1967 under the direction of Kim Merker. Merker had previously worked with Harry Duncan at the Cummington Press, before founding his own private press, the Stone Wall Press. The books produced by the Windhover Press under Merker's direction featured the same spare, classical style of Stone Wall Press books, though (unlike the Stone Wall Press) the Windhover Press used a proofing press rather than a standard press.
