Print on Demand

We are proud to be the first independent bookstore in the U.S., and only one of a few in the entire world, to have an Espresso Book Machine (EBM) on the premises. The EBM is a Print on Demand (POD) machine that enables affordable short-run printing. The whole book is made right here — from printing to binding to trimming.

We serve authors of fiction, poetry, cookbooks, family genealogies, local histories, corporate reports, custom course textbooks — you name it. Our imprint, Shires Press, offers a complete printing package, as well as an extensive menu of optional quality upgrades and à la carte services, such as expanded paper and cover choices; professional editing, cover and/or text design, and technical support.

Shires Press can print a beautiful paperback edition of your book that looks and feels like the real thing — because it is. Whether it's a family memoir, a cookbook, a town history, a novel, a children's story, or anything else, we can get your book printed in a short period of time at an affordable cost. Whether you only want one book for yourself, or wish to sell your book widely, we can help. We don't have minimum quantities required and you don't have to be famous. View Our:
