Merrymount Press is a book publishing house in Boston, Massachusetts, founded by Daniel Berkeley Updike in 1893. Upon his death in 1941, the Press was taken over by his partner John Bianchi. Updike and his Merrymount Press left a lasting impression on the printing industry. Stanley Morison, the typographer responsible for creating the ubiquitous Times New Roman, had this to say of the Merrymount Press after Updike's passing: “The essential qualities of the work of the Merrymount Press...may be said without exaggeration…to have reached a higher degree of quality and consistency than that of any other printing-house of its size, and period of operation, in America or Europe.”
