OR BOOKS IS TEN

OR Books launched ten years ago. From its start, OR has represented the alternative, in the books we select and the way we publish them. Our first title, a not entirely complimentary look at Sarah Palin, became a New York Times bestseller. Since then we have published nearly 250 titles, each one contributing to the cause of dissident culture and/or progressive politics. We have reached more than half a million readers, many of whom have become loyal customers, returning repeatedly to purchase OR titles. We’re proud to have established our place on the margins of the publishing industry, because the margin is where we want to be. To celebrate our first decade we are making a special offer:
