Margin Press / A note to our readers

An open book.

Small questions deserve considered answers. Here are a few things to know about our books, our parcels and the people behind the pages.

The books

What finds a home on your list?

Books with a clear point of view and something to return to. We publish a small list of essays, stories and visual work, made in close conversation with the people who create them.

We would rather make a few books carefully than fill a shelf in a hurry.

Your parcel

How soon will my book arrive?

We pack orders in the studio twice a week. Once your parcel is on its way, we will email the tracking details. Pre-orders travel as soon as the new book reaches us from the printer.

Ordering a gift? Leave a note at checkout and we will leave the receipt out.

Further afield

Do you send books overseas?

Yes. The available destinations and delivery costs appear at checkout before you pay. We wrap every book for the journey and choose tracked delivery wherever it is available.

Any local import charges are separate from our delivery fee.

Bookshops and libraries

Can we put your books on our shelves?

We love seeing our books in independent shops and reading rooms. Tell us a little about your space and the titles you are interested in, and we will send our current catalogue and trade information.

Reading groups are welcome too. We are happy to discuss a group order.
