1 comment about this press

Not to throw a wrench in the works, but the Windhover Press that I am familiar with was operated by Kim K. Merker at the Univeristy of Iowa and produced limited editions of fine books, etc. Was this a case of two entities having the same name that caused the name change in 1970?
