Process Press and Free Association Books are independent companies. With its distinctive approach to the selection of titles and marketing, the Process Press imprint is publishing distinguished books which may attract a relatively small number of purchasers. When a book is repped by an agency, stored and distributed by a commercial service and sold by bookshops, only about a third or the cover price goes to the publisher. This means that it is hard to break even on low print runs. By marketing directly to the profession and offering discounts on advance sales, we can continue the editorial approach which gained the original company such a high reputation, without having the problem of ongoing losses.
Quality is our only consideration.
Process Press also co-publishes the journals Free Associations and Science as Culture . The editors are engaged in broadening the briefs of both journals, in the case of FA to include more on groups, group relations and cultural issues, and in the case of SaC to include topical interviews and information about the internet. New Process Press books which will appear in the near future are listed below. Do not worry if they take some months to arrive. Selling books by mail order precludes browsing.
