Letters from Century Press RSS

While derogatory language and ideas do not warrant censorship in the books we re-print, at Century Press, we do believe that they require examination and contextualization.

What are any of us afraid of when we feel the need to censor ourselves from speaking or writing words that may offend? Of course, there’s the selfish feeling that we may be judged. But should our choices be molded out of a desire for self-preservation?

At Century Press every component of our books—spanning from the content to the materials—is deeply considered before coming together to create a cohesive experience. Learn how we built our latest book one element at a time.

With a supply chain so local to our headquarters in Ottawa, the last thing on my mind is rising shipping container rates or import/export issues.

Letterpress has undergone a renaissance in recent years. Hear how we've updated and improved upon the process in 2021.
