One of the real strengths of the small press is the kind of attention to detail presses and publishers can give their work because, instead of putting out a glut of books, they put out limited numbers...and can give them a more personal touch. For example, the EPHEMERA that I've managed to amass over the years.
Special editions of books, broadsides, promotional stuff from THIRST -- these are the kinds of things I love to do, and small press publishing makes possible! That, on top of the fact that, by being able to take bigger chances they are KEEPING BOOKS DANGEROUS...and it looks like SOME FOLKS are starting to notice!
