Harbor & Ink Cookbooks, Kids' Books & Murder Mystery Puzzle Books
Harbor & Ink Press creates books that people love to read—and families love to share.
Some of the best moments happen at the kitchen table. A little one standing on a chair, stirring their very first batch of pancakes. A kid who suddenly wants to know how money really works. A quiet evening with a cup of tea, a pencil, and a murder to solve.
That's what we make books for. Harbor & Ink Press is a small independent publisher, and every book we create is designed to be used, not just read. The pages get splattered, scribbled on, dog-eared and passed around.
That's exactly how we like them. Whether you're shopping for a curious kid, a keen cook, or the puzzle lover who has everything, we hope you find something here that brings people together.
FREE US SHIPPING ON EVERY ORDER for the month of October— NO MINIMUM SPEND. All books available on Amazon.

Hi, I'm Michelle
I started Harbor & Ink Press because of my love of books — the kind you don't just read, but live with. The cookbook with flour between the pages. The fact book a kid reads aloud at the dinner table. The puzzle book that keeps you up past bedtime because you're so close to working out whodunit. Every book we publish is one I'd happily give to my own family. I hope you find something here that brings a little more fun, learning and togetherness into your home. Happy reading, Michelle
