Why sign up as a Friend of PM Press?

What?

A subscription bargain! For $30 a month* you will automatically receive all books and pamphlets printed each month and 50% off all webstore purchases. On average we publish around thirty titles a year. Click HERE to join!

Is $30/month out of your price range? Pay a full year in advance and you only pay $25 a month ($300/year)*. Or pay for a full two years in advance for only $20 a month ($480/2 years)*.

Why?

Your monthly subscription provides us with a much-needed subsidy for the materials that can’t necessarily pay their own way. All subscription fees go toward paying for the staggering production costs of each new release. The Friends of PM Book Club allows you to directly impact and amplify the discourse of radical authors, artists, and activists.

How does it work?

Your card will be billed once a month, until you tell us to stop. Or until our efforts succeed in bringing the revolution around. Or the financial meltdown of Capital makes plastic redundant. Whichever comes first. There is no minimum amount of months required.

Frequently Asked Questions

C’mon, what’s the catch!? Hidden fees? This sounds too good to be true.

There’s no catch. We bill your card each month and send you a large package of new books. Period. There are no hidden fees and you can cancel your subscription anytime. You can also choose to pay for a year in advance to lower your subscription fee. Oh, and we also cover all shipping costs and all applicable sales tax.

How many books will I receive each month and do I get to choose my books?

Some months it might be two books; others four. We publish around thirty titles per year, and each month, you’ll get a package with everything new that has come out that month. By subscribing, you’re already choosing to get everything new that appears. And as a subscriber, you’re also entitled to a 50% discount on all of our already-published titles and everything else on our website, including CDs, DVDs, and stylish apparel.

I’m starting a radical library at our local community space. Can the library join the Friends of PM Book Club? Can we resell the books?

Absolutely! Sign up your radical library, local café, punk house, record store, or any other community space. A Friends of PM subscription is probably the cheapest and easiest way to stock any bookcase. You can’t beat a package of new books for such an incredibly low price. Additionally, you can use your Friends of PM discount to receive 50% off everything else on our webstore.

Where Does Your Money Go?

Books cost money to produce. Lots of money. The average book costs us roughly $10,000 to produce. Your monthly subscription significantly helps to offset these costs, allowing us greater freedoms as an independent publisher. So where does your money go? Below is a brief outline of how your subscription directly impacts each and every book we decide to publish.

Printing

25% of your subscription money typically goes to the printer. The price of a book is, in part, determined by the cost of printing, which continues to rise each year. Your subscription helps to offset the cost of printing, making our books more affordable and accessible.

Production

30% of your subscription money helps cover the cost of production. Real humans with real lives do the work at PM Press. Editing, design, and warehouse management are just a few of the activities that require enormous amounts of labor.

Promotion and Distribution

What good is an unread book? Promotion and distribution account for about 35% of your subscription money. In addition to maintaining our webstore and shipping thousands of books from our warehouse each year, we also tirelessly hit the road bringing books to hundreds of diverse social gatherings throughout the world.

Royalties

Call us old-fashioned, but not only do we actually copyedit, proof, and actively promote all of our books, but we even pay our authors royalties! 10% or more of every sale—irrespective of whether the production costs have been recouped. Your subscription further helps ensure our always-prompt payment to our authors for their vital, educational, entertaining, and enlightening labors.
