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 $152,725! in donations—be sure to tell us where you gave
