You may not know many of our authors, but that’s how we like it; we seek out forgotten writers worthy of a modern readership — one probably too small to interest a trade publisher — we do them justice in print, and we sell them directly to you at a price we believe you can afford. We do know about e-books, and we also know you can print just one copy of any book you like ‘on demand’ these days, but they’re not for us. To deliver you a quality reading experience demands real commitment from ourselves and our printers. Attention to detail in editing, typesetting and design, good paper and printing, robust bindings — all of these complement good writing to make the very stuff of good reading.
