Copper Key Media
Books, and stories behind them.
Copper Key Media is a small, independent publisher. We take on a handful of books at a time and give each one the care it deserves.

[Almost] Everything Happened First in Ancient Egypt
A guided tour to the origins of ordinary life — with the receipts.
Seventy-seven everyday things — the lock, the calendar, eyeliner, the wedding ring, the first written peace — traced with real evidence back to the Nile. Bold on the cover, rigorous on the page.
We publish carefully made books, edited with attention and produced to last. More about Copper Key →
