Get copies by mail
Pick your zines. Send us the postage, in Forever stamps or online, and we do the rest. If you're in prison or jail, just write. How it works
Nothing here costs money
If you want to put something in, stamps and paper help as much as cash does, and gifts to the In Search of Peace Fund keep the circles going. Ways to give. Money in and out of the press is posted on the ledger.
Other presses' books
The books we learned from, and keep pointing to. We can't give those away yet, so for now they're on a shelf at Bookshop.org, where buying one supports a local bookstore and the Fund.
