The Gaberbocchus Press was founded in 1948 by Stefan and Franciszka Themerson and specialised in publishing first English editions of little-known Continental writers, and in providing an independent outlet for unpublished writers and poets in Britain. The books are all notable for their design.

The collection contains the entire output of the Press between 1948 and 1980, and consists of about 80 items, searchable via the catalogue. There are also some records of the company.
