Ransby Editions

Ransby Editions, founded in 2014 in Copenhagen, is the moniker under which Martin Ransby publishes his own artists' books, printed matter, and books by artists he feels related to.


“Of course, there is still the question of distribution, but books have a life of their own. Some books move, even if you leave them on your back stairs in the boxes they came from the printer's in.”

—Pati Hill on self-publishing, Letters to Jill, 1979
