FERAL HOUSE <strong>2012</strong><br />

Printed Books, eBooks & Print-On-Demand<br />

Like an overweight Kiwi bird, <strong>the</strong> digital age has landed awkwardly on <strong>the</strong> publishing<br />

world, and after initial resistance we’ve decided to convert most <strong>Feral</strong> <strong>House</strong> titles<br />

into electronic books readable by Kindle, Nook, iPad, and o<strong>the</strong>r eBook devices. You<br />

can find and order <strong>the</strong>m on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and elsewhere, including<br />

Apple’s iBookstore.*<br />

There are good reasons to welcome eBooks. One is that eBooks can reduce <strong>the</strong><br />

paper waste of throwaway novels. Ano<strong>the</strong>r is <strong>the</strong> publisher’s ability to update<br />

books without <strong>the</strong> lengthy process of printing and shipping a new edition.<br />

Readers should keep in mind that many <strong>Feral</strong> <strong>House</strong> titles were designed for<br />

large-size printed books, and contain many hi-res images. Visually-oriented titles<br />

make for troublesome conversions, and are frequently deficient in retaining <strong>the</strong><br />

purpose, beauty and wonder of <strong>the</strong> original printed edition. None<strong>the</strong>less, we<br />

support <strong>the</strong> option of purchasing <strong>the</strong>se books in any format you please.<br />

This year we’ll be providing rare and out-ofstock<br />

titles both as eBooks and in printed<br />

versions created in print-on-demand (POD)<br />

options for our new Resurrection Series.<br />

The first Resurrection book is The Manson<br />

File, <strong>the</strong> controversial Amok Press title,<br />

provided at Amazon.com for <strong>the</strong> same price<br />

as when initially published in 1988. Please<br />

check feralhouse.com and on Amazon.com,<br />

BN.com or Apple’s iBookstore or o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

eBook sources for information on digital<br />

versions of your favorite (or unknown)<br />

<strong>Feral</strong> <strong>House</strong> title or POD revivals.<br />

<strong>Feral</strong> wishes,<br />

Adam Parfrey<br />

The Manson File, <strong>Feral</strong> <strong>House</strong>’s first print-ondemand<br />

book, available from Amazon.com.<br />

* Apple has decided to ban a couple <strong>Feral</strong> <strong>House</strong> books from its iBookstore, a strange course of action considering<br />

that one of <strong>the</strong>se award-winning titles (Voluptuous Panic) is widely available to students and <strong>the</strong> public at large<br />

through art museums and college bookstores. Apple’s own website actually celebrated <strong>Feral</strong> <strong>House</strong> in a an article<br />

on its own website in <strong>the</strong> early oughts.
