Bill Bird was an American publisher best known for running the Three Mountains Press, a small press that published many prominent modernists in the 1920s including Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams and Robert McAlmon, with Ezra Pound serving as editor. Over a period of two and a half years he published 9 works. Concurrently he founded Consolidated Press Service and worked there as a journalist from 1920-1933, when he joined the New York Sun as chief foreign correspondent.
