Be part of our revolutionary experiment in
generosity-based publishing
We publish great books and give them away. All we ask is that you make a voluntary donation to a charity or someone in need. Tell us about it. Then pass your book along so others can give. It’s a new kind of publishing, one based purely on generosity, and it’s changing the way people think about books:
“This tiny startup publisher is making waves within the industry by re-conceptualizing the very goals of publishing. A grand experiment in subversive altruism.”
—ForeWord Magazine
“A project that could revolutionize the publishing industry.”
—The Independent on Sunday (UK)
“An innovative publishing effort that one-ups Abbie Hoffman's yippie manifesto, Steal This Book.”
—Washington Post
Our readers around the world report more than $130,225! in donations—tell us where you gave
