Making Classic Living Books
Affordable and Available for All
Living Book Press is run by homeschoolers who couldn’t find the books we needed, so we decided to print them ourselves. We transcribe, format and proof each book meticulously by hand. We are happy to offer them for sale so that homeschoolers around the world now have easy access to classic living books that have gone out of print or were too expensive to obtain.
Books for the Charlotte Mason homeschool method
Many of the books in our shop are featured in curriculums inspired by Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophy. Our books can be used for Ambleside Online, A Gentle Feast, A Mind In The Light and more.

I’ve been acquiring books from Living Book Press since they first opened. I’ve always been impressed with the size and font of the text and the quality of the books… I cannot express how helpful it is to have markers in books like Madam How and Lady why to indicate sections for Ambleside Online!
Love your books! I love the look of them! Love the ease of your website! Please keep the books coming! I can’t way to add to my collection!
I was finally able to get a copy of Charlotte Mason because of Living Book Press. It is absolutely beautiful and I am looking forward to adding more of their books to our home library.
I received my books yesterday & I think they are great quality! I’m going to be ordering again! Thank you for the great work!
