Shearsman Books
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 short-run digital and print-on-demand production for nearly all titles in 2003. We now have more than 1,000 volumes in print, and we expect to see this continue to increase by 40 to 50 books per annum. Download a complete list of titles in print, or catalogues for 2005 through 2022, by clicking Catalogues at the top of this page. This will take you to an intermediate page with details of all the brochures available from this site, including the current 2021 catalogue. Downloadable PDF samplers from almost all of our publications are now available from this site and can be accessed from the books' shop pages or from the master lists of UK, US, Classic (etc) titles under the Books menu at the top of this page. In addition, we make some e-chapbooks, in PDF form, available for free download from this site. At the moment 23 are available, and they can be found by clicking on e-Books in the menu.
