Small Beer Press launched John Kessel’s short story collection: The Baum Plan for Financial Independence and Other Stories today, just in time to battle your tax angst. The cover is awesome - I love the artwork - and it’s reversible, with a faux financial self-help cover inside.
Also, as noted on Boing Boing it’s been released as a free download.
Benjamin Parzybok — April 2nd, 2008 — Small Beer Press, the future
Floor map of Book Expo America 2008. See that green dot? That’s Small Beer Press on May 30th, #2120. Corner lot, yo.
It looks like the cross section of the death star or maybe the preferred cuts of a piggy bank.
Here it is, traversing deep space, the giant small press battlestar. Going where all booksellers are going simultaneously.
At any rate, these people have been tasked with doing something there, probably involving powdered ice cream or eating tea with chopsticks in microgravity.
Benjamin Parzybok — February 8th, 2008 — Small Beer Press, couch, fiction, writing
One: I’ve started a blog. That much should be obvious at this point. Actually, Levin and I have started a blog together. We’ve decided to call it ‘Secret’ - in part because we both love secrets, and also because we’re both secretive. It’s an admission that running a blog, an inherently open medium, is going to take a little learning.
Two: I have a short story, The Coder, which appeared in Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wrislet #21.
Three: Small Beer Press has purchased my novel, Couch - a book about three guys who carry a somewhat opinionated couch to South America.
Hooray! What a fantastic way to start 2008. I wrote Couch while Laura and I were living in South America in 2002. It was a magical time, and I am very excited to be working with the fantastic people at Small Beer Press.
