Against the grain interviews with maverick American publishers

Against the Grain is a collection of interviews with nine small press publishers, each one characterized by strength of resolve and a dedication to good books. Each press reflects, perhaps more directly than any large trade publisher could, the character of its founder; and each has earned its own place in the select group of important small presses in America. This collection is the first of its kind to explore with the publishers themselves the historical, aesthetic, practical, and personal impulses behind literary publishing. The publishers included are James Laughlin, Harry Duncan (the Cummington Press), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, John Martin, Daniel Halpern, Tree Swenson and Sam Hamill, Jonathan Williams and David Godine.
