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 />

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.
