About us
the synaesthesia press | 213-304-4476 | Post Office Box 1527 | Higley AZ | 85236 | www.synaesthesia.net | printer : publisher : bookseller | Founded with Steve Fisher in 1991. As a letterpress printer and a publisher, I make whatever it is I like...and have time to manage. As a bookseller, I generally specialize in good, used books of a subversive nature. In other words, anything by or about Beatniks, Commies, Outsiders, drug addicts, hustlers, perverts, drifters & grifters; I like art books and Artists’ Books; vintage sleaze; outlaw poetry and prose. If it's anything you’d be embarrassed (or proud?) to show your mom, I'm interested! I'm always buying libraries and good, used books; I'm buying ephemera. I'm buying amateur snapshots and photo albums.
