Breaking News from the clandestine book front!



LOOMPANICS LIVES!

Loompanics' website is still up with all their old articles and offers links to 13 places you can still acquire their books! Sky Cosby of Earthlight Books and Last Word Books has almost 200 titles stockpiled if you're looking for somethin' scarce. e-mail earthlightbooks(at)gmail.com for a full list.

Paladin acquires 40 titles from the late, great Loompanics Unlimited

The news that Loompanics Unlimited had decided to close its doors after 30 years in business caught us as much off guard as it did everyone else. Founder Mike Hoy chalks up his decision to increased competition from such giants as Amazon and Barnes & Noble as well as simple burnout. He is ready to retire.

We at Paladin Press have always admired the fearless Loompanics. After all, there just aren’t that many publishers in the country who produce books that even we wouldn’t touch! But when we heard the news, it didn’t take long for us to strike a deal to acquire the rights to publish 40 titles we considered good fits for the Paladin catalog.

Paladin welcomes Claire Wolfe, Eddie the Wire, and all the other Loompanics authors to our house, and we extend our best wishes to our good friends Mike Hoy and the entire Loompanics staff. Here is a complete list of Loompanics titles being revived by Paladin . . .
