US Constitution In Print

Anyone know of a fine press or semi-fine-press edition of the U.S. Constitution currently in print/available?

I think the most notable would be Arion Press's, published in 1987. It's out-of-print but available on the secondary market.

You'll find a smattering of other partial chapbooks and broadsides, but I'm not aware of another full version.

Riverside Pr printed an edition of 440 copies in 1911. Designed by Bruce Rogers.

The Limited Editions Club version of The Federalist includes the Constitution at the end of the second volume.

Russell Maret has also printed the Constitution (and I think its still in stock).

>4 A.Nobody: notable that this LEC is a Bruce Rogers design as well.

>5 921Jack: well… technically he has but depending on User2024’s intent, the Maret one might not be the most useful. I love it and the statement it makes but presuming one wants to actually read the text, it isn’t the one to get.

Edit: I’m mistaken apparently. I didn’t realize it includes both the full text and the redacted version. Carry on :)

Thornwillow Press published an edition of the Bill of Rights — dunno if it has the full text of the constitution.

I have a nice copy printed by the Fleuron Press in 1955 on really good Hayle Mill handmade paper, but the publication date means that it omits some of the later amendments.

>7 ChampagneSVP: And a google translate version lol!

But, I agree, not really a reading copy. I recommend checking it out at an institutional library / collection though.

>8 kermaier: it doesn't

If only Limited Editions Club had done an edition of the Constitution to match with their stunning Declaration of Independence. That would have been exquisite

Speaking of the Declaration, here's where you can get a letterpress reprint of the Boston issue: https://www.edesandgill.org

There's this one.
