They have produced numerous manuscript reproductions, including one of the mysterious Voynich Manuscript. Good reproductions of this manuscript are few and far between. Further details about the manuscript can be found at:-

I have just received my copy of the Voynich Manuscript from from Ambush Printing.
The book has been printed on thick, good quality pseudo-parchment paper.
The original manuscript appears to have been photographed rather than scanned, and there is slight blurring as a result, but this may be the condition of the original manuscript.
The book is tightly bound in a limp, thick coarse leather cover that has Voynich stamped on it.
The binding is by means of leather straps threaded through the binding thread.
The binding is so tight that the pages cannot be laid flat, in fact they cannot be opened at more than 90 degrees to each other. This makes viewing the pages difficult.
There are five concertina fold out pages included, as in the original manuscript.
Unfortunately each page shows the following pages as part of the printed page picture, so the reproduced page edges show following pages at the outer edge. This is rather distracting, and unlike high quality reproductions (eg. Folio Society). each page is not therefore quite true to itself. See picture below of the edge of a single page.
There is no title page, colophon, accompanying introduction or explanation, just the reproduced pages of the manuscript.
It cannot really be called a fine press publication, but at a cost of US$200 postage you get what you pay for.
More a curiosity to add to your collection than something to admire. ( )
