Edwards and Shaw was a quality printing and publishing partnership established by Richard Edwards and Roderick Malcolm Shaw, following the lapse of their Barn on the Hill Press. They printed a number of award-winning literary and fine art books for other publishers, including South Head Press and Pinchgut Press, and printed books of verse in the Lyrebird Writers series. The Press published many first books of verse by Australian poets.

The Press excelled in high-quality production and design, the philosophy being that all aspects of design had to be related to the character of the text. The Press was initially located in Sussex Street, Sydney, but its final address was 78-80 Buckingham Street Surry Hills.
