Gwasg y Lolfa (Lolfa Press), Tal-y-bont, Ceredigion was founded in 1967, and in those heady sixties, acted as a sort of unofficial press to Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (the dreaded Welsh Language Society). Its publications then (eg 'Tafod y Ddraig' and 'Lol' (a sort of Welsh 'Private Eye', which frequently landed the press in hot water)were responsible for weaning many of us away from our forelock-tugging, England-worshipping ways. It was the first Welsh press to use the photo-offset-litho printing process, and the first to acquire a website. It produces a steady stream of all kinds of popular books - in Welsh and English - not to mention literary posters, highly original greeting cards etc. Its humorous cartoon guide to learning Welsh ('Welsh is Fun')has sold over 150,000 copies. It currently has a staff of around 20 full time workers (including two editors, a marketing staff and a book designer),together with a number of part timers. Hardly a 'whimsical little independent press', siân. Sorry to wander away from the ebol melyn, but I felt that this needed to be said.
