• ... that Kevin Lippert started Princeton Architectural Press by selling books out of the trunk of his car? Source: “Mr. Lippert printed 1,000 copies and hawked them to students for $55 apiece out of the trunk of his car. They sold out immediately.
  Thus was born Princeton Architectural Press, of which he was founder and publisher. It eventually branched out beyond its classic reprint series to produce high-quality books on architecture, design and visual culture — and, later, books on hobbies and crafts, children’s books and note cards.” NY Times

• I pulled this for extensive copyright violations. After pulling it, I went back and took a closer look and ended up tagging it for WP:G12. I don't understand how this got through two reviews. RoySmith (talk) 00:14, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

• I am going to try to salvage this if possible. I’ll expand out more tomorrow. Thriley (talk) 04:48, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
