Around the World with SPD

For all of you who like to buy your indie press books from an indie press distributor, you should head over to Small Press Distribution to take advantage of their Around the World Sale. All this month, select translation (click above to see the complete list) are available for 40% off. All you have to do is use the promo code: WORLD.

There are a lot of great books on the list, and the one that I’d recommend—which will come as a surprise to most all of you—is Magnolia & Lotus: Select Poems of Hyesim, a wonderfully translated collection of poetry from the first Korean Zen master who was dedicated to writing poetry. It’s a great book from a great press (White Pine) and the translation really is top notch.

Additionally, the featured press of the month at SPD is Host Publications, which means that all of their books are available for 40% off. Click here to see the complete list, which contains a host (see what I did there?) of great titles, including Mario Benedetti’s The Rest Is Jungle and Other Stories and Nicanor Parra’s After-Dinner Declarations.

It’s also worth mentioning that SPD is the only nonprofit book distributor in the country, so purchasing a couple books from them not only enriches your reading experience, but helps support an organization that plays an absolutely vital role for a slew of small presses. In fact, without SPD, there are a ton of these presses that would be left without a distributor at all. So do a good deed for the book industry (the part that doesn’t suck) and get a few of these titles.
