Our home
The press has its home in the one-time school of the village
of Hinton Charterhouse, just south of Bath, England.
| The Old School Press prints and publishes new texts in limited editions with specially commissioned illustrations. We use traditional letterpress printing techniques - metal type and fine papers - and our books are hand-bound to our designs. | |

One of our books can start with a text, a paper, a typeface, or a medium of illustration. Where it finishes is never fully known until the sheets go to the binder! Our aim is always to find a combination of text, illustration, typeface, papers, and binding that makes a unified whole. Our books are generally illustrated with specially commissioned work from artists working in a variety of media which to date have included watercolour, linocut, wood engraving, wood cuts, line drawing, pastels, digital photography, and pochoir.
