About the press

Obsidian Codex Press is a small independent publisher based in Oslo, Norway. We make carefully produced editions of classic and esoteric literature.

Our volumes are Smyth-sewn on acid-free paper, bound to open flat. We say plainly what each edition is, including where modern tools assisted the work, and we photograph the books as they are, with production samples labelled as such.

Interior spread from the John Dee Necronomicon: Renaissance-style typesetting and woodcut illustration across two pages.

The editions

Most works appear as a Codex, the reading edition, and, while the limitation lasts, an Artefact: numbered, cased and made once. Some projects take other forms, from letterpress to facsimile.

How projects run

New titles begin as Kickstarter campaigns; backers receive their copies first, and remaining stock reaches the shop afterwards. Every project's progress is posted on our production updates page.

Shipping & returns

Orders ship tracked from our US and EU warehouses in 5 to 14 business days, tax included. Unopened items may be returned within 14 days. Full detail on the support page.
