Who we are

- The Press: numbered limited runs of a special-edition binding for one exclusive title at a time.

Product pages describe materials, pricing, lead times, and guarantees. Descriptions on this site are the offer; if something is unavailable, we will contact you or cancel and refund.
Orders and payment
Checkout is processed by Stripe. Prices are shown in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Payment is collected when you complete checkout. An order confirmation email is sent when configured. Title to goods passes when we deliver the book to the carrier; risk of loss in transit is addressed under our shipping and returns policy.
Made-to-order nature
Most volumes are produced after you order. Lead times are estimates, not guarantees of a calendar ship date. Natural variation in leather, foil, and hand work is part of the craft and is not a defect.
Promotions
If we offer a promotion, discount code, waitlist perk, or limited offer, the terms of that promotion (eligibility, duration, exclusions, and stacking rules) will be stated with the offer or in the email announcing it. Promotions have no cash value and may be modified or ended at any time unless we have already accepted an order under those terms.
Intellectual property and content
Library and Press classics we list are public-domain texts unless a page states otherwise. Site design, photography, branding, and our original translations or editorial work remain our property. Studio manuscript commissions require you to confirm you have the rights to the text you submit.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms limits rights you cannot waive under applicable consumer law.
