A new chapter for Edition One Books
For over 18 years, Edition One has had the honor of producing many (millions) of beautifully designed books for customers of all types. We started out with fine art and documentary photography books mostly because that is what I studied and knew well - our first customers included photographers Linda Connor, Arno Minkkinen, and Michael Light. It was a very fortunate way to start a book printing business, and likely earned us more trust than we deserved in those early days.
Over the years we have printed for the biggest names in tech, major museums, universities, wine and hospitality firms, etc. We also had the privilege of printing some of the most elaborate and wonderfully researched family histories — those books I am particularly proud of. More often than not, those personal histories were moving, inspirational, and humbling.
In 2025 we made the decision to sell our in-house digital print production capabilities to a long established local business, On Line Bindery in Richmond, CA. Our digital presses and bindery equipment have been added to On Line Bindery’s already impressive post-press capacity. Those customers looking for short run digitally printed books are encouraged to contact them directly.
For self-publishers and businesses interested in producing larger quantities of books, Edition One continues to offer bespoke commercial book printing services of the highest quality. Our production plants in Tennessee, Hong Kong, and Hungary are producing truly beautiful books at competitive pricing for delivery worldwide.

We will be launching a rebranded website in late 2026, which will provide a one-stop book printing resource for artists, designers, and marketers looking to produce and distribute top quality books without going through a traditional publisher.
In the meantime, our Instagram feed provides an excellent visual history of our history as book printers, and the breadth of subject matter, materials, and design we have been able to offer to small self-publishers and large businesses alike.
