"Perceval Press" is known for its use of extremely high-quality printing materials and press procedures which are personally supervised by Mortensen himself, who has been called an "Indie Publishing Mogul" [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/01/books/01viggo.html?pagewanted=print] by the New York Times.

"Perceval Press's" slate is diverse, exploring poetry, song, graphic and fine arts, photography, fiction and non-fiction, scholarly essays and literature. Some of the books and CDs are by Mortensen himself, or in collaboration with other artists.
