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.
