What we make

A small press for slow, useful reading.

Most of our books are made to be sat with — at a kitchen table, by a window, as a gift to someone you'd like to give a quiet hour. Here is what every Plain Lantern title is held to.

Calm & uncluttered

Generous spacing, clear layouts, nothing rushed or gimmicky. A page should feel like a deep breath.

Genuinely useful

Puzzles, reflection, faith, nostalgia, gentle practice — books with a real purpose, not filler.

Large-print & accessible

Readable type and high contrast by default, so the books are kind to tired eyes and easy to enjoy.

Made to be kept

Considered covers, consistent quality, and thoughtful presentation — books that earn a place on the shelf.

About the publisher

One person, one quiet standard.

Plain Lantern Press is an independent publishing imprint run by Johan. It isn't a large company — it's one publisher's commitment to making books that feel calm, useful, and well-made, and to bringing them all together in one trustworthy place.

Every title is researched, laid out, and quality-checked with the same care: readable large print, considered covers, and honest descriptions so you always know what you're getting before you buy.

Good to know

Questions, answered plainly.

Is this an official Amazon website?

No. This is the official catalogue for Plain Lantern Press books, run by the publisher. When you choose to buy, we send you to Amazon to complete the purchase. Amazon is a separate company and handles checkout, pricing, shipping, and returns.

Where and how do I buy the books?

Open any available book and select “Buy on Amazon.” You'll complete your order securely on Amazon. Some titles are still in preparation — those show as Coming Soon or In Development.

Are the books paperback, ebook, or both?

Most titles are paperback and printed in large print. Format and availability are listed on each book and confirmed on its Amazon page, since options can vary by title and country.

Are they suitable for seniors and easy to read?

Yes — accessibility is a core part of how we make books. Expect large print, clear contrast, and uncluttered layouts that are kind to tired eyes.

Are these good as gifts, and which should I start with?

Many readers buy them as calm, screen-free gifts for parents, grandparents, and friends. Each book has a “best for” note to help you choose, and our reading guide in the Journal can point you to a good first title.

Will availability differ by country?

It can. Books are published through Amazon, so availability, price, and shipping depend on your local Amazon marketplace and the formats offered there.

Are the links affiliate links?

Where affiliate or referral links are used, we disclose it clearly. As an Amazon Associate, Plain Lantern Press may earn from qualifying purchases — at no extra cost to you.
