SP Books is an independent publishing house specialised in the publication of limited facsimile editions of literary manuscripts.[1][2][3]
Founded in 2012 by Nicolas Tretiakow and Jessica Nelson,[4][5][6] SP Books has published the manuscripts of major literary figures including Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Mary Shelley, Oscar Wilde, Victor Hugo, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, Lewis Carroll, Jules Verne & Charlotte Brontë.
Based in Paris, France, SP Books publishes oversize, slipcased books that are printed on deluxe paper[7] and feature facsimiles of the handwritten manuscripts, with revisions and notes. Most print runs are limited and hand-numbered.[8][9][10]
