We provide an efficient and friendly typesetting service for societies who produce their own monographs, journals and newsletters. Recently finished titles include Landscape History for the Society for Landscape Studies, Medium Aevum for the Society for the Study 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 an affordable price.
