      The Concord Free Press is a labor of love. No one gets paid. But we do have significant expenses—printing, postage, and rent. Please make a donation today.

       

      Support our network of
      independent bookstores

      In addition to worldwide requests on our website, our books are also distributed—for free, of course—through an informal network of great independent bookstores throughout the US. So check out these wonderful stores. If you stop by one to get your Concord Free Press book, we hope you’ll actually buy another book or two. Bookstores like that. And so do we.

      Our books are printed in limited, individually numbered editions of approximately 3,000 – each store gets about 25 books. When they’re gone, they’re gone. If your local store is out, you can always request an individual copy on our Home Page.

      Attn: Booksellers! If you would like to distribute our books, just email us at concordfreepress@gmail.com.
