coming soon - a series of visionary chapbooks for future dreaming. 3000 word socialist essays, polemics, utopias, imagining, risograph-printed with soya ink on recycled card and paper.

An excellent lockdown care package has arrived courtesy of @LiminalResident @Neon_Lit_Mag. Thank you - this looks just the job.

Need to get the word out? Why not do it in a booklet? Yes, that’s right, we print booklets (up to size A4 if you want them portrait or A5 if you prefer landscape orientation) Get in touch for quotes. These ones for Momentum were printed in B/W with our precise laser machine.

We reached out to our friends and they have come up with some amazing artworks to help MARC pull through. You can get one of Dick Vincent's limited art prints via our online shop. Find the link in our bio 😍

Here’s chapbook by singer, artist and archivist Laura Smyth, channelling the spirit of the old ways

Chapbooks were often used to share folk songs and ballads

1970s and 80s anarchist pamphlets. Cheap and often slightly wonky, adding to the charm

We love the diy design possibilities of the humble chapbook

themes include place, culture, relationships, future folklore and much more - our vision is inclusive, intersectional, libertarian and profoundly socialist.
