OUR MISSION IS QUALITY

Quality has always been important, especially to those who have invested their time and talents creating something of value. Quality ensures the viability of your creation. During the 19th and 20th centuries, a quality-movement in the early book publishing world was launched by William Morris. He labeled this initiative the Private Press. Differentiating themselves from competing, traditional printers and binders, Morris' Kelmscott Press emphasized the book as a work of art. The Private Press held itself above the mechanized book production developed in the Victorian era. The focus of the Private Press was high-quality media, including hand-made paper, traditional inks, special typefaces, meticulous attention to formatting and page design and hand-binding. The result was a book of superb quality that would not only be in tremendous demand then, but would become a valuable collectors’ item hundreds of years later.

THE PRIVATE PRESS PUBLISHER IS BACK

In today's world where cheap and easy has replaced the quality only achieved with hard work and attention to detail, Telemachus Press has distinguished itself in the eBook and Print On Demand markets. As an Internet-enabled, quality provider of all services needed by authors to produce and distribute their book, we are today's equivalent of the Private Press Publisher. Our attention to delivering a perfect book in all formats – eBook, paperback and hardback – is well recognized. We create the final product for each format individually, examining each page for perfection. Our covers are individual works of art.

Most important of all to us is the strong, long-term, satisfying relationships we establish with our authors.
