Ottawa Press and Publishing began five years ago with a simple idea --  publish local books. 

I'm not  sure if three words can qualify as a business plan, but that's what we had.  

Luckily, enough people liked the plan to let us get away with it.

We believe reading local is as important as shopping local or eating local and we want to thank you for visiting our website and supporting a regional publisher.

Before leaving, be sure to sign up for our newsletter and get a free copy of The Last Guide's Guide.  That's one of our best-selling books, a little fishing story from Algonquin Park. A guidebook we thought you might enjoy reading in these times.
