01

The imprint

Old books,
new care.

Yellow Sun Classics is our imprint for public domain literature.

The world’s greatest books are free for anyone to read—but free texts are often poorly scanned, clumsily formatted, and stripped of context. We start from the original works and add the care they deserve.

  • Fresh typesettingClean, readable editions designed from scratch—not scanned or auto-converted.
  • Introductions & notesNew introductions and annotations that put each work in context.
  • Modern translationsNew translations that keep the voice of the original while reading naturally today.
  • Illustrated editionsSelected titles with new cover art and interior illustrations.
  • Every formatEbook, paperback, and hardcover editions, priced fairly.

The underlying texts are in the public domain and always will be. What we sell is the craft around them: editions that are a pleasure to hold, read, and return to.

Now in preparation: My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin.

Our first edition is Miles Franklin’s 1901 classic My Brilliant Career—the story of Sybylla Melvyn, a headstrong girl in rural New South Wales determined to make something of her life. We’re restoring and typesetting it now, and will announce the edition here when it’s ready. In the meantime, you can explore the original fiction we publish at Yellow Sun Press.
