Under the wasteful capitalist paradigm of the publishing-industrial-complex, books are treated like fruit in a grocery store: the slightest imperfection makes them unsellable.

Like perfectly good fruit rotting in the dumpster, perfectly good books are often destroyed at distribution centers.

Every year, millions of books end up destroyed In the “returns” process. At PM, we pay a ransom of sorts to save our books from burning. We painstakingly sift through waist deep stacks of unsorted books, wipe them off, and offer them cheaply to you.

Selling returns—almost all of which come from Amazon—allows us to mitigate large losses and to get radical books into many more hands.
