About

Pencil Revolution Press LLC is a small bookbinding and zine publishing company that started out as a blog in 2005, a zine in 2020, and became Straight Legit in 2022. All books are made by hand, in Baltimore City, with extra care and heart.

Johnny Gamber is a Baltimore native, caffeine lover, sure-footed walker, and bad speller. After defending his PhD in philosophy in 2010 and two years in AmeriCorps VISTA, Dr. Gamber left The Workforce to be "at home" with three kids full time. He has been a co-host of The Erasable Podcast  since its inception in March 2014. 

When not binding books, he enjoys reading, writing, British detective programs, and browsing Instagram bookbinders for hours and hours.
