With over 38 years background in the print/publishing industry, we are proud to be part of this city's literary and print landscape. It is our endeavour to bring quality service, print material, and most importantly, literature and printed books into our stores, and into our authors' hands. To help guide our up-and-coming writers, authors, and poets safely and profitably through the print and publishing landscape, to help support readership and steer booklovers towards our local bookshops, and to foster a responsible and healthy environmental footprint. (See Sustainable Publishing for more information).

It has also been over a year since we've launched and expanded into Sustainable Publishing, and in addition to our recognition in the field of printing we have also been recognized for our environmental efforts by being awarded the Ottawa Awards for Best Green Initiative of the Year, 2025 for our initiative in Sustainable Publishing.

You can look for our logo and posters at participating local bookstores (including The Book's Better Bookshop, 275 Brockville Street, and Westboro Books, 314 Richmond Road).
