Lakeside classics

Lakeside Press was a Chicago publishing imprint under which the RR Donnelley Company produced fine books as well as mail order catalogs, telephone directories, encyclopedias, and advertising. The Press was best known for its high quality editions for the Chicago Caxton Club as well as the Lakeside Classics, a series of fine reprints. The printing plant, which was located along with company headquarters in the Lakeside Press Building on 22nd Street and Calumet Avenue, was closed in 1993, after which production moved to several other RRD plants.
