Friends
We believe in community, and that the first step towards building community is acknowledging those folks from whose support we've benefited and those with whom we share our values.
In "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions," John Donne famously wrote, "No [person] is an island entire of itself; every [person] / is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." Aside from a small correction, we're inclined to agree. 😉
The following is a growing list of the friends of JLRB Press.
