Help save McSweeney’s

Posted by Maximum Fun on 15th June 2007

When Publisher’s Group West, the foremost independent book distributor in the country, went through serious financial difficulties last year, it had ramifications throughout the publishing industry. Lots and lots of indy presses were owed money by PGW, and they got very little of it when all the dust settled.

Among the many publishers who suffered greatly was McSweeney’s. The loss of revenue has meant that our pals in SF have a pretty serious cash crunch, and they’re asking for your help. Luckily, it means they’ve discounted almost everything they sell signficantly, in the hopes that you’ll buy a lot of crap and help them out. So, yeah… do that.
