Small Presses Love You But You Don't Love Them

Okay, maybe you love them, but you should love them more, because some of them are giving things away for free.

Here are five crazy small presses you can get/read stuff from. Go to their websites and later, spend actual real money.

Concord Free Press

This press is giving away every book they print, starting with this first one, or they were--now they are all out. I wish I'd heard of them earlier. This is the kind of thing I might not delete if I got spam mail about it. Other heartwarming things often suck.

Small Anchor Press

This press is also giving out books. They sent 500 copies of a novella to various places. See this link: Mike Heppner sent a novella, Man, to a bunch of places and told people to read it and send him comments. It's one novella in a series of four. I wish he'd sent one to Korea.

Featherproof Books

Beautiful designs. And chapbooks you can print and make using your printer, by people like Patrick Somerville and Nathaniel Rich. And this subscription thing (though not free).

Publishing Genius Press

Here's a little guide to everything they've published so far, written by the editor of another small press, for easy navigation.

Bear Parade

The last one is this e-book thing, because I remembered we are obsessed with Tao Lin here.

I know there are tons more. Maybe you can leave them in the comments.
