Two Rivers Press has been publishing in and about Reading since 1994. The brainchild of Peter Hay (1951-2003), one of the town's most creative champions, the press grew out of his delight in this under-loved town and its recessed spaces. "Pete believed in Reading, and his enthusiastic publication of local books and maps can be seen as part of a quiet campaign that a number of us have been waging for years - to prove that the town exists, lives, happens, and is by no means to be confused with Anywhere." Adam Sowan.
