Walter Mosley and Black Classics

According to PW, Walter Mosley and Black Classics Press (representin Bmore) are teaming up again to publish important out-of-print titles. Black Classics owns a print-on-demand printer that can do publish smaller print runs. Mosley says this is an opportunity for him to get more involved in the publishing end of things. The first titles they will be bringing back are Tin Tin in the New World and Tallien: A Brief Romance by Frederick Tuten. They are calling this imprint, In Print Editions, since the goal is to keep important books in print.

I like this idea.

Excellent. I like supporting independent publishers. And I love keeping lesser known titles in print. There is something so much more satisfying for me in buying a good book that has been forgotten than supporting yet another publisher with top 10 mill style books being churned out.
