About the press
Books made for
attentive reading.
Juniata River Press publishes enduring works in editions designed to be read slowly, marked thoughtfully, and kept for years.
Our purpose
To make room
for a deeper reading.
Our Commonplace Editions pair carefully presented public-domain classics with generous margins and reflective prompts.
They are made for classical schools building a culture of discussion and for independent readers who want a more considered encounter with great books.
The name Juniata River Press reflects the landscape of central Pennsylvania: rooted, enduring, and shaped over time.
Juniata River Press is a trade name of Juniata Publishing House, Ltd.
