ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Richard Burgess of Impression Ltd. works with some of the leading overseas printers. He specializes in complicated book manufacturing, from simple board books to complicated pop-ups. Previously, he was a director at Scholastic looking after their novelty book production and sourcing components. He now runs his own consultancy ‘Impression’ which brokers print production and project management for large and small publishers alike. He lives in New York City with his family, including a huge Norwegian Forest cat and much smaller Pomeranian dog.

He loves the diversity of product that the Crown Group handles—a robust gift line that includes stationery, jigsaw puzzles, board games and many other formats, graphic novels, cookbooks, lifestyle and gardening books as well as fiction and nonfiction titles. He is also a member of the PRH core global team that negotiates worldwide printing contracts for 4/C printing. In his free time, he enjoys tap dancing and the banjo.
