ABOUT US
Back in 2008, this site was launched to fill a hole in the market, to reprint books that should never be out of print. Book digitization has came along way. Google Books and Archive.org has scanned and made available many books which would otherwise require trips to libraries around the world to see. PDFs and e-books are great, but we still need books in print. There's something special about holding an actual physical book.

The advancement of the print-on-demand industry has made it possible for nearly anyone to become a publisher - literally overnight. Just by learning a few basic skills (and a great deal of trial and error), I was able to take an out of print book in the public domain and bring it back to print in the span of a few weeks. One book led to the next and here I am 14 years later offering about 15 titles in print, attempting to transition from the "one at a time" printing industry to short runs of 100 to 200 books. Learning the printing industry has been both interesting and a great challenge. I look forward to the years to come and seeing what God has planned for this little publishing apostolate.
I am a 50 year old Roman Catholic husband and father of 9 children living in north central Illinois. I'm a union equipment operator/diesel mechanic by trade, publishing in my 'spare' time. After long hours at work and many family obligations, I squeeze in publishing wherever I can. ​ I offer a variety of publications from various sources. My stance on Catholic Tradition: I adhere to the Traditional Catholic Faith and attend a diocesan Latin Mass (1962) every week. I hold no preference to any individual traditional Catholic group or religious order. I make an effort to insure that none of the materials I offer are in conflict with the Traditional Catholic Faith.​

While this publishing apostolate is a one man show, there are some very generous folks who have helped and continue to help me that I'd like to thank:​
-
Louis Tofari of Romanitas Press has been a continual source of knowledge and experience of all things in the printing world.​
-
Stan Drew of Golden Images has done an excellent job of scanning many of the books I offer.​
-
Jerry Wonderly (R.I.P 9/26/23) of Myriad Creative Concepts helped layout and then did the graphic design on several covers of books offer, most importantly- the Latin Vulgate Bible reprint that I released in 2021.​
There are also many unnamed individuals who have provided a great deal of assistance with several key projects.
