Lost River Press was founded in 1990

As a book publisher, Lost River Press published regionally specific books, mostly fishing related, and did it all on Apple Macintosh™ computers. Our first four-color book using desktop publishing tools exclusively was in 1995, and we built our first web site that same year.
