We provide an efficient and friendly typesetting service for societies who produce their
own monographs, journals and newsletters. Recently finished titles include

of Medieval Languages and Literature, and Past the newsletter of the Prehistoric Society.
We enjoy working with small societies and will continue to offer them a quality service at

attractive spreads. We can turn your finished manuscript into a beautiful,
professional book with a striking cover design. We offer a bespoke service for
self-publishing authors and can provide advice with the following services:
