SP Books specialises in the publication of facsimile editions of important manuscripts. Founded in 2012, SP Books’ conception is intimately linked with a love of literature as well as an appreciation of unique and beautiful objects. In the context of our increasingly digitized world, our goal is to restore the magic of the manuscript as a pure and untouched vehicle between the artist and their work.
