Wychwood Editions: Micro-Publishing
If one had to name the most powerful tool ever to have shaped human civilisation, what would it be? The wheel, the ship, the engine, the written word? Surely overshadowing all these would be the book, which grew out of the written word, for the book was the great container of human thought, and the record The research and writing of the Wychwood books resulted in far lower sales than a mainstream publisher could have achieved, but it freed the author from persistent editorial interference from publishers who show no respect for the writers who create their books. More than that, it gave the author the freedom to develop his intellectual interests by writing on a wide variety of subjects of his own choice. In fact it enabled him to develop a personal belief system, and to express it in prose and poetry. This is the story of the smallest of the small in publishing terms, but the winning of private freedom, made possible by turning away from the mainstream publishing culture of best-sellers, fame and money.
