NEW FROM PROPER TALES
Hot off the press in April 2007! Printed at Coach House.
Only CAN$15 postpaid in Canada and US$15 postpaid to the United States. Pay via PayPal to stu_ross[at]sympatico.ca. If you'd like to
pay by cheque, email me at that address
and I'll tell you where to send it.
There are a few copies still available of the special edition:
26 copies, signed and lettered by Ron Padgett,
and bound into boards. $50 each.
In
1979, I started up Proper Tales Press to self-publish my poetry
and fiction
in chapbook form. In 1981, I began publishing the works
of other authors
that interested me. Over the years, I've created
several different series
and imprints under the Proper Tales
umbrella: Weeping Monk Editions (mimeographed books),
Cops Going for Donuts Editions (usually single-page
works), Blind Dates (two different authors back-to-back),
and a couple
of others. You'll find a lot of these sub-imprints on
the Proper Tales Ephemera page.
Many
of these publications are still in print. If you'd like to inquire
about
purchasing any of them, drop
me a line and I'll let you know
price and availability.
