See Sharp Press publishes books and pamphlets on a wide range of topics — anarchism, atheism, music, substance abuse, and psychology. We also carry bumper stickers and T-shirts. And we provide free, complete, online texts of many of our books and pamphlets.
"In the opinion of the anarchist, the sum total of human ills is expressed in one word—authority."
—Albert Parsons, The Philosophy of Anarchism
(Our Quotation of the Week is taken from The Heretic's Handbook of Quotations, Charles Bufe, ed. We usually change our Quotation of the Week between 15:00 and 18:00 GMT on Monday mornings; ditto for our Definition of the Week.)
Definition of the Week
POPULAR TASTE, n. A grotesque oxymoron, as in "popular taste in music."
Our Definition of the Week is taken from
The Devil's Dictionaries (Second Edition, revised & expanded): The Best of The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Biercee, and
The American Heretic's Dictionary, by Chaz Bufe. This week's definition is by Bufe.
Order a copy of The Devil's Dictionaries plus a copy of The Heretic's Handbook of Quotations for only $15.00.
 The Mormon Cult: A Former Missionary Reveals the Secrets of Mormon Mind Control is back from the printer.
- If you'd like to contact any of our authors directly, we've now posted contact info for a majority of them on our Books page.
- To commemorate its 25th anniversary, we've added the audio file of former Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia's amazing 1983 rant to our Texts on Line page. If you're a baseball fan and have never heard this, take a listen—it's gut-busting funny.
- Because it's unnecessary and bad for the environment, we've stopped sending out print catalogs, except for folks without Internet access. All of our books, pamphlets, bumper stickers, and T-shirts are listed on this site.
 Alcoholics Anonymous: Cult or Cure? (2nd ed.), which has been out of print for the last five years, is available again.
- Unfortunately, due to the recent drastic increases in postal fees, we will no longer be able to take online book or T-shirt orders from individuals overseas. The USPS eliminated overseas surface shipping of small packages, and almost tripled the postage rates for sending both individual books and for small bulk orders. (For example, formerly it would cost about $7 or $8 to send a book to the UK; now it costs almost $19.) Because of the limitations of our online ordering system, we can't apply different S/H fees to domestic and overseas orders. So, if you're in Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., please do not try to order books or T-shirts from us on line; if you do, we will return your money. However, we can still take overseas online orders for pamphlets and bumper stickers, and we can take overseas book — although not T-shirt — mail-in orders.
- Of late, certain academics invested in the commercial edition of The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, have been making aspersions against the original, much more pointed version published by See Sharp Press: The Jungle: The Uncensored Original Edition. Earl Lee, who wrote the Foreword to The Uncensored Original Edition, answers these critics in his Defense of The Jungle: The Uncensored Original Edition.
- We've reduced prices on all of our books, with every single See Sharp Press book ordered online now below amazon.com's prices.
(Note to anyone interested in ordering bulk quantities: These discounted prices are only for direct sales to individuals. We apply standard discounts to cover price for bulk orders.)
- We've reduced our domestic shipping rates drastically: Shipping is now FREE for orders of $25 or more, and for orders under $25 the S/H fee is now only $3.
- We're now offering individuals a 20% discount on small bulk orders — 5 or more of one title — of pamphlets and bumper stickers.
