A note from us
We don't sell books that need a marketing budget to be worth reading.
Every title here was read by at least one of us before it made it onto the shelf. That's both a constraint and a promise. If we put it in front of you, it earned the spot.
From the journal
On rereading the shelf.
A short note on patience and the long sentence
On Cusk, on Sebald, on the way a long paragraph teaches you how to wait.
Why we don't carry books we haven't read
A diary of how the shelf gets curated, and why it's a small one on purpose.
The case for the small press, made in numbers
Three years of receipts, and what they say about who's actually publishing the work that lasts.
