Why we publish this way

We commission our own writers, edit and typeset every title ourselves, and sell it to you directly. No distributor, no retailer and no marketplace takes a cut along the way, which is the whole reason a full book costs what it does here. You get it in EPUB and PDF together, free of DRM, on as many of your own devices as you like, and it stays readable whether or not you ever come back to this shop.
