The Know Something
Project, a sister site of Pearl Street Publishing, currently
features an in-depth look at the growing, multi-faceted e-book industry.
From e-readers such as the Kindle and the Sony Reader to retailers such
as Fictionwise and ScribD (and the players such as Simon and Schuster
(which recently signed on to sell digital copies of some of its titles on
ScribD) and Google, e-publishing is on the brink of something big.
ReadGreen is a new initiative that encompasses aspects of electronic as well as
print-on-demand publishing. For more information, read Currents, a
comment on technology and the independent press-the last bastion
of freedom of expression.
The Gutenberg
Project is a must view for all green readers. It is a volunteer effort which
has produced 27,000 free e-books which are accessible without
limitation. These books' copyrights have expired. The distinction
which the Project makes between free of charge and freedom of use is
fascinating in this era of "monetizing" everything.

The Yale Review
commends Enough by Eric Anderson and Pearl Street Publishing "... for making available to us such wonderful work by young and promising writers. These and many other small presses are well worth keeping your eye on."
Pearl Street Publishing is
located on Old South Pearl Street in Denver, Colorado. We are housed in a Victorian
house built before the turn of the 20th century. While we honor that heritage, we
embrace the exciting technological revolution that has ushered us into the 21st century. We
are committed to the proposition that all of us who love to read will benefit from
these marvelous advances. In that spirit, we invite you to browse in the Pearl
Street Publishing Online
Book Store which we created in July of 2002.
