Named for five out of the last eight years as one of Publishers Weekly’s ten “fastest-growing small publishers,” Ulysses Press is reinventing the relationship between reader, author and publisher.
Beyond market-driven, Ulysses Press focuses on highly targeted niche groups that aren’t being offered the books they want by the big corporate-owned New York houses. As pop culture changes at the speed of the Internet, books have a powerful role to play in the interconnected world. But no new media has ever eliminated an existing media form. They force change, and with change comes opportunity. That is why our printed books work hand in hand with e-book and online versions of their content. |
Who doesn't like books?
I know I do. I read daily.
A little bit of everything, but I am more a book person not a e-book reader.
I like the pages, holding a book and then keeping my read book on my book shelf to go back and use when I want to again.
Books are an excellent Holiday Gift Giving Item.
So many to choose from, easy to put into stocking, gift baskets or even mail.
Ulysses Press has so many books to choose from. Take a look, you will definitely find something for everyone on your holiday list.
