We here at Payseur & Schmidt remember keenly the difficult years of the Great Depression, when the cost of ink and paper very nearly stopped our presses. Wisconsin winters were cold back then, and all we could hope for was that the fiery heat of the words in our books would warm hearts and minds, if not frostbitten toes. Plus, binding glue made a pretty good soup base in a pinch.
The current economy is biting us all in some mighty sensitive areas, and we want to do our part to ease the sting. We know our books are a bit pricier than the crappy, disposable paper blocks you can buy at big box stores. Everything we publish--from authors and artists like Nicola Griffith, John Clute, Paul Di Filippo, Jim Woodring, and more--is meant to be a work of art that you will give a place of honor on your bookshelf. But tough times call for extreme measures. So, we hereby announce...

It's that easy. Give yourself the gift of words, art, and music to slake your thirst for something great. Take care, and don't forget that when the whiskey's all gone, Payseur & Schmidt stand strong.
As always, any questions can be sent to orders@payseurandschmidt.com as well. Please don't reply to this mailing list email, as we may not get it.
Happy Recession/Depression from the kids at Payseur & Schmidt
