Alternative Publishers of Books in North America, 6th Edition

 

http://libraryjuicepress.com/apbna.php

 

Alternative Publishers of Books in North America, 6th Edition, by Byron
Anderson, is a directory of alternative publishers in the U.S. and Canada.
Entries provide a wealth of useful information about the 163 publishing
companies covered, including contact information, years in operation, titles
per year, areas of focus, and textual descriptions of a page or more in
length that describe the history of each press, with reference to some of
their publications. A subject index lets the user find publishing companies
that focus on specific subject areas, which can be useful to both collection
development librarians and authors.

 

"Alternative publishing" in the context of this book refers to smaller,
independent publishers of the overall left, which focus, varyingly, on
topics such as sustainable development, punk culture, social justice, gender
studies, human rights, socialism, anarchism, and globalization.

 

This is the 6th edition of the book, which was formerly published by CRISES
Press, of Gainseville, Florida, associated with the review journal
Counterpoise. It was formerly a biannual publication, but it has been over
four years since the last previous edition, making this sixth edition a
major update. 

 

The preface to the book, by former ALA President Nancy Kranich, discusses
the context and the importance of alternative publishing, and it is
available online:
