This page covers publishers who produce signed, limited-edition books, outfits that resell them, or other essentials. If you think a company should be added or you hit upon any broken links, please drop me a line. Pleaes note that, due to the volatility of small presses, some of these companies may no longer be in business, even if their webpages are still "up". I'll try to indicate these sites with striketrhus, but I may miss a few from time to time.
The publishers in bold/italics also run a bookstore as a resell point for other publishers.
(BTW, all these open in new, fully-functioning browser windows.)
