Notice Regarding Changes to Printing & Publishing Policies

 

Due to the recent misuse of our open-door policy for the printing facilities, we have decided to revise our policies regarding printing, publishing, and the use of our press.

 

Until now, our doors were open to all citizens of the realm. We have always believed in the importance of honest and principled expression, and thus allowed anyone to print books, papers, pamphlets, posters, and more using the press located in our cellar. This open policy extended especially to the adjacent school, giving students the opportunity to print their work and publish their studies.

 

We are aware that we are among the very few—if not the only—printing establishments in the Crownlands. For this reason, we chose not to restrict access, placing our trust in the citizens not to misuse these resources for improper purposes.

 

However, this policy must now change due to a breach of that trust, specifically the printing and distribution of the “Lady Truthfull” pamphlets. We strongly condemn these publications, as they lack any journalistic integrity and appear to be motivated solely by personal grievance and agenda.

 

As a result, the printing press will no longer be open for unrestricted public use. We will continue to offer free printing services to citizens, but only by appointment.

 

Those wishing to print papers, books, pamphlets, or other materials may request an appointment by leaving a letter in the bookstore mailbox or by contacting us via raven. The use of the printing press will remain free of charge.

We sincerely apologize for this change in policy, but the current circumstances make it necessary. We warmly invite you to continue visiting our bookstore. In the coming weeks, we plan to expand our collection with returning classics as well as new titles being published for the first time.

 

Until then, we send you our best regards and wishes.
