Profile of Wisconsin's Parallel Press

Charles W. Bailey, Jr., Digital University/Library Presses, Part 10: Parallel Press, DigitalKoans, September 18, 2006.  Excerpt:

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries' Parallel Press publishes "print-on-demand books that parallel online publications, as well as chapbooks featuring the work of regional poets and UW historians." Many of the books are reprints of out-of-print works. It appears that the Parallel Press was established in 1998....

While the chapbooks are only available in low-cost print editions, the books have a freely available digital version. Examples of books include (links are to the digital versions):

• The Academic Library in the American University
• The Book of Beasts
• The Experimental College
• A First-Draft Version of Finnegan's Wake
• Root Nodule Bacteria and Leguminous Plants
