Shearsman Books was founded in 1982, just a few months after Shearsman magazine, in order to offer collections to authors involved with the magazine. The press geared up substantially with a shift to digital and print-on-demand production for most titles in 2003. In 2004 we published 18 new titles, 24 more in 2005, 23 in 2006, 42 in 2007, 60 in 2008, 63 in 2009, 58 in 2010, and 48 in 2011. We expect to see over 60 volumes appear in 2012. Download a complete stocklist or catalogues for 2005 through 2011 by clicking "Download Catalog" from the download buttons to your left—these will take you to an intermediate page with details of the brochures available from this site, including the final catalogue for 2011, and an interim 2012 caralogue. The latter will be updated regularly to take account of later publications.
Downloadable PDF samplers from almost all of our publications are now available and can be accessed via the year pages on your left left (after which you should selec an indidual title by clicking on the cover) and the online catalogue (which is an alpha list of all title by author).
In addition, we make e-chapbooks available for free download from this site. At the moment twenty-two are available; further e-books will be added during the course of 2011.
