About See Sharp Press

See Sharp Press is a "cause-driven" small press. Our mission is to make available radical books and pamphlets that would otherwise not be published, especially in the areas of anarchism and atheism. We want to live in a free, sane (that is, in part, religion-free) world, and feel that this is the best contribution we can make toward that goal.

We publish books and pamphlets in nonpolitical areas for three reasons: 1) We have some expertise in those areas; 2) We feel that the materials we publish in them are inherently worthwhile; 3) They help to support publication of anarchist and other political books that often do not pay their own way.

Our primary book publishing niches are music, anarchism, philosophy, psychology, atheism, and modern (non-12-step) alcohol abuse self-help. Authors of See Sharp Press books are as diverse as Stanton Peele, Bart Hopkin, Mick Berry, Friedrich Nietzsche, H.L. Mencken and Upton Sinclair.

See Sharp's pamphlets are all on anarchism, atheism, and near-related topics. Over the past 23 years we've published dozens of anarchist and atheist pamphlets by authors such as Joseph McCabe, Luigi Fabbri, Voltairine de Cleyre, Sebastien Faure, E. Haldeman-Julius, Brian Sheppard, David Irish, Marquis de Sade, Earl Lee, Sam Dolgoff, April Pedersen, Emma Goldman, and the ever-popular Anonymous.

For examples of our publications, see texts on line, which contains links to both the complete texts of many See Sharp books and pamphlets and excerpts from a number more. We add both excerpts and complete pamphlets to our on-line collection occasionally, so check back when you have the time to see what's new.

You can find independent evaluations of many of See Sharp's books and pamphlets on the reviews page.

Ordering Info

• Our full catalog is on line in our books, pamphlets, bumper stickers, and t-shirts pages. We publish several new titles per year, so the information on these pages changes fairly often.

• We can take payments on line via both credit cards and Paypal accounts.

• If you prefer to order by mail, just print out our order form, indicate what you want, and mail it to us with payment.

• We've reduced our domestic shipping rates drastically: 1) For domestic orders of $25 or more shipping is now FREE; 2) For domestic orders under $25, the S/H fee is now only $3.

• Because of the recent extreme increases in USPS overseas shipping fees, we can no longer take online overseas orders for books. We can still take them for pamphlets and bumper stickers, but not for books or T-shirts.

• Orders are normally shipped the first business day after we receive them.

• If you're doing tabling at political events and would like to sell See Sharp Press books, pamphlets, or bumper stickers, e-mail or call us for information. (See contact info at bottom of page.)

• Please do not hit us up for book donations, no matter how worthy your project. We already give all of our excess and damaged inventory to the Bay Area Books to Prisoners project, and that's not going to change.
