Concord Free Press

Yes, we publish books and give them away – free. No, there's no catch. That would be stupid. We like books. We buy books. Think about it this way.

Let’s get this straight right from the start—we’re not proposing free books as a cure for what ails modern publishing. We don’t think all books should be free—just ours. That said, we’re dedicated to a different kind of publishing, one that "reconceptualizes the very goals of publishing." We’re interested in making waves, challenging assumptions, and re-invigorating the book, which isn’t dead yet,

by the way. No matter who published them or how good they are, most books go on a familiar trajectory—new, used, shelved permanently, dusty. Ours keep going from hand to hand, generating donations along the way. Readers are generally good people. We give them a chance to get a great book for free—and encourage contributions to organizations and individuals in their own community or further afield. Writers are generous too, and interested in being part of something new and positive in publishing. Publishing a book with us doesn't preclude it going on to a second commercial life. From our global headquarters in West Concord, Massachusetts, high above (well, we’re on the second floor) the mighty Nashoba Brook (more like a creek, actually), we’re publishing books that connect reading and giving like never before. And that’s enough for us.

December 8th always summons up John Lennon's music, spirit, and optimism—as well as a heavy dose of sadness. Particularly this year, with the revelatory Get Back in the zeitgeist. Imagine anew—friends, dreamers, writers, readers, all.
