Welcome from the publisher

Greetings from the Apocryphile Press. purveyors of unusual books, attractively packaged and reasonably priced. We are distributed by Ingraham, the largest book distribution company in the US, and perhaps the world. All AP titles are available on amazon.com anywhere in the world (although certain titles are restricted in some countries due to copyright restrictions).

We specialize in books in the field of philosophy and religion. We also publish general spirituality and mysticism. Perhaps most unusually, we specialize in apocryphilia, as our name suggests. This includes books not in the Bible, plays not written by Shakespeare (although attributed to him), Sherlock Holmes stories not considered part of the "canon," and...well, you get the idea.

We are particularly interested in making sure important books which have fallen out of print are available to the general public now and for some time to come. It doesn't matter how many are sold. It only matters that it is available when someone needs it. We intend to publish approximately four books per year, so please check back in now and then to see what's new and what's cookin'.

We are a small, new-paradigm publishing company. This means we have no employees, no offices, no warehouses, no overhead, and don't need to make any money to stay in business. Our books will remain available no matter how many (or few) are sold. Books are printed as they are ordered and shipped directly from the printer, so there is no need for the infrastructure that used to make publishing such a tricky business. Plus, it means we can publish whatever tickles our fancy.

We hope you like the new Apocryphile Press website. We're keeping it simple, because you have better things to do with your time than wait for stupid flash programs to load. Please write us with ideas and suggestions for out of print books that ought not be, or send us an original manuscript it if fits our area of speciality.

We hope you enjoy our books. We are publishing most of them because WE enjoyed them.
