A skiing Cow Poster????

Peter Miller welcomes you to Silver Print Press! We are located in an old farmhouse on Route 100 in Colbyville, Vermont (some call it Ben&Jerryville as their ice cream plant is next door). The resort town of Stowe is just up the road.

This website is so antiquated it groans and it's damn hard to do anything with it. It still gets the job done but uploading is a problem of gnashing teeth.

So I am trashing it and doing a new website. So bear with me.

Hardly  Nothing ever Happens in Colbyville, Vermont

my latest book is an anthology of 27 stories written or edited in his Colbyville home, a forgotten hamlet of Waterbury now under attack from development and sprawl. The stories run  the gamut from reportage, humor, satire and cover 30 years of changes in Vermont. The subjects range  from Ben & Jerry's, skiing, hunting, fishing, to social commentary (Take Back Vermont), reportage (Fred Tuttle's funeral). The book includes 31 photographs including his infamous pig and sheep photo and would prod anyone who has a keen interest in Vermont. It is available on this site and in Vermont book stores.

We are best known for a trio of books by Peter Miller which have won three national awards. They are Vermont People, Vermont Farm Women and Vermont Gathering Places. Because of these books, Peter was honored by The Burlington Free Press and the Vermont State Legislature as 2006 Vermonter of the Year. There are over 15,000 copies of Vermont People in print and it is known as the classic Vermont tabletop book. Note: Vermont People is out of print and won't be back until this depressed bubble is over). 

Yankee Weather Proverbs is a delightful collection of 97 New England proverbs collected by Peter Miller and beautifully illustrated in color by Daryl V. Storrs. This book is appreciated as a gift and a premium.

Stick Season Grouse by Ted Ross, is a collection of hunting and fishing stories, some of which are outrageous and many are humorous Our favorite chapter is  Drinking with Dogs. 

What else? The Skiing Cow Poster! It will be in my hands by September 25. 2009.  The 24x36 inch poster, in full color, is of the skiing cow milk bottle floating in a blue bird sky over Mt. Mansfield. You can't see it here because of this darned website but it is on http: www.petermillerphotography.com under the skiing portfolio. You can look at it there and order it. 

Opening in Colbyville! King Kong Won's Hong Kong Restaurant! In October we will have a Nothing Hardly Ever Happens in Colbyville Day honoring our new neighbor, and we will have a lawn sale, a pig roast and special prices on my books and photographs.When plans are settled I'll post the date here.
