Indie publisher AdHouse has announced AdDistro, a new distribution site for small press books. PR below:

It’s the befriending of “like” publishers and creators whose work we appreciate. And by befriending,  it means that we’ve purchased copies of their work so that you, the reader, can now obtain even MORE quality publications in one easy to use location. (ie: AdHouse Books Distro) Our initial offering of work focuses on some of the harder to obtain material, from people like:

Nobrow Press.
Nobrow Press, based in London UK, is all about publishing beautiful tactile illustrated books. We work with a wide range of illustrators and artists from around the world to produce image based publications from comic books and graphic novellas to artist’s monographs and illustration journals. Our production methods combine the best materials with the most interesting printing methods often inspired by the illustrated books of yesteryear.

Koyama Press.
Koyama Press was founded in 2007 to sponsor projects with emerging artists. The rationale behind the enterprise is to fund a project with the intention to promote the artist. Ideally there will be a product to sell to create revenue. In addition to publishing books, the company has financed such diverse projects as zines, comics, artist designed t-shirts, installations, photo montage work, print folios, letterpress cards. The venture has covered travel costs, reference materials, art supplies and the odd lunch.

Malachi Ward.
I’ll be honest. I didn’t know Malachi’s work until a few weeks ago. I was introduced to it by a suggestion of a comic retailer friend. And, boy, I’m glad I was. His work is solid comic storytelling, with a hint of sci-fi.

  1. Interesting.

    Nobrow Press is also distributed by Last Gasp.

    Since AdHouse is distributed to the trade by Diamond Book Distributors, does this mean that these three “imprints” will also be carried by DBD?

    Will the product, including the saddle-stitched comics, have ISBNs?

  2. Yes, Last Gasp and AdHouse are helping to create a bi-coastal invasion of the Nobrow variety.

    Our AdDistro items will not be solicited through Diamond… at least not yet.

    I believe most items do have ISBNs. The mini-comics do not, though.

  3. That’s great news. A good indie distributor has been the weak link in the chain. I hope that there are enough stores to support something like this.

  4. PREDNISONE is a corticosteroid. It is commonly used to treat inflammation of the skin, joints, lungs and other organs. Common conditions treated include asthma, allergies, and arthritis. It is also used for other conditions, such as blood disorders and diseases of the adrenal glands.
    What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?
