There is a new literary venture taking shape in the heart of the Cuckmere Valley, the Snake River Press. In true Bloomsbury style (the books even have a classic 1930s retro look and feel to them), Peter [Bridgewater] has made a very encouraging start towards fulfilling his aim of creating a stylish and distinctive collection for readers who enjoy well-made books.
