The Porcupine’s Quill has built, since 1974, an enviable reputation for expertise in the use of twentieth-century offset printing technology to replicate the quality look, and feel, of a nineteenth-century letterpress product. Most of the production work is completed at the shop on the Main Street of Erin Village, where books are printed on a twenty-five inch Heidelberg KORD, folded, and then sewn into signatures on a 1905 Model Smyth National Book sewing machine.

This site features a selection of new e-Books available for purchase. All are available in PDF format to preserve the original beauty of the book's design, script, and images. This is of particular importance with poetry titles where the layout is often as important as the words themselves. Selected titles, such as novels and short story collections, are also available in Kindle and Kobo/Nook reader formats.
