Our Services

At Appian House Publishing, we specialize in creating art-driven publications and prints that celebrate visual storytelling and creative expression. Our offerings include artist books, art books, and portfolio books that showcase original work in many print formats. We produce high-quality catalogs, magazines, and zines that reflect the unique voice and vision of each creator. Whether you're looking to publish a hardcover coffee table book, a softcover look book, or a custom print book that captures your artistic journey, we bring your ideas to life. Our mission is to support artists, designers, and creatives by transforming their work into beautiful, collectible printed editions.  

At Appian House Publishing, our design and publishing process adapts to the shape and scale of each project. Some books begin with us from the ground up — from research and concept to photography, writing, design, and printing. Others just need a thoughtful layout or a quiet, well-executed finish. We're happy to take on the full journey, or just one part of it.

With a background in art history, archives, and independent publishing, we work closely with artists and creatives to bring clarity and depth to their printed work. Whether it’s a book, a catalog, or something harder to categorize, we help guide it toward a form that feels intentional, considered, and complete.

If you’re planning to make your book available for sale, we can help with all the behind-the-scenes steps to get it properly registered and listed. We offer ISBN services, and we’ll take care of registering your book with Bowker’s Books In Print database, so it’s officially part of the publishing record.

We can also assist with listing your book on Amazon, setting it up on your own website, or helping you figure out the best way to offer it to readers.

We work with a wide range of professional book printers to match the scale, budget, and creative needs of each project. Depending on your goals, we can manage large-volume printing overseas for cost-effective distribution, or partner with domestic specialty printers for custom formats and high-end finishes.

Our network includes printers that offer unique paper types, custom trim sizes, binding options, and specialty finishes such as foil stamping, embossing, and lay-flat binding. Whether you’re producing a limited edition art book, a softcover catalog, or a hardcover coffee table book, we’ll help you choose the right materials and production method.

We also support short-run digital printing, including printing as few as one copy, as well as print-on-demand services like Amazon KDP. This flexibility allows us to support a variety of publishing models for each unique project.
