Bookkake

Just a quick one to anyone who doesn’t also read James’ excellent Booktwo; James has just launched his own, print-on-demand, “dirty books” imprint Bookkake. The imprint, which was funded by ACE long before James started working with us, does everything that we think a modern publisher should do.

That means PoD, sensible pricing, beautiful design and production values, re-typesetting the text rather than lazy offsetting, bundles, free extracts and eBooks and newly commissioned introductions. All that and a well-written, well-designed (deliberate link to 404), well-executed site selling direct. And transparent customer services.

Well done to James for (again) putting his money where his mouth is.
