Small Press Gift Giving Guide

Jarret Keene wrote an interesting twist on the ubiquitous gift giving guides we see this time of year. For the Tucson Weekly, ignored “what the big publishing houses in New York want you to buy” and instead picked some gift suggestions from “the small presses in America that consistently produce the tastiest writing, especially compared to today’s rather bland mainstream offerings.”

He made some interesting choices indeed. Check out the article for the full discussion of his picks, but here’s the short list:

–The Complete Book of Kong by William Trowbridge and published by Southeast Missouri State University Press
