* * IMPORTANT NOTICE * *

Many have asked if the Atlas Press website will be reinstated. Unfortunately due to circumstances that I was not aware of, the server deleted the website permanently. Efforts to find it on the Internet Archive have not proved fruitfull. For now, all my efforts are going into completing Alastair Brotchie’s final book, an Anthology on ‘Pataphysics. Rare and out of print Atlas Press books are not for sale through Bookartbookshop at this time, but most in print Atlas titles are. Also Atlas Press books are distributed by Turnaround Publisher Services in UK and DAP in the USA so it is possible to order Atlas through your local bookshop. I will update you here when there is more information to share!
