Stone Broke Bread & Books is a different kind of bookshop, focusing on a curated collection of only small press books (no big publishers, no big distributors) to cultivate a community for underrepresented voices and care-building (women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, DIY, poetry, alternative politics, ecology, and healthcare/spirituality). We seek to highlight and encourage diversity, inviting the community to learn and grow together. As a space for involvement and education on urgent topics such as DIY lifestyle, alternative ecologies, medicine, histories, and critical engagement, we seek to appeal to makers, cultivators, practitioners, artists, and thinkers of all kinds.
Our titles are thoughtfully chosen because they have the capacity to impact the world we live in. They encourage critical thinking, feeling, community building, and social responsibility. Whether you want to farm or forage, start a band, rethink republicanism, take charge of your own health, stand up for women’s rights, learn about indigenous history, host a poetry party, philosophize, escape into new world imaginings, read to a child, instigate an LGTBQ2IA event, dismantle capitalism (i.e. the exploitation of others), or just have an irreverent sense of humor, we likely have a book (and a conversation) for you.
The beauty of Small Press and Independent publications is that they might be books you haven’t seen or heard of before. We try and make a space for writers, artists, and publishers that don’t have (and sometimes don’t want) the commercial marketing that comes with big publishers (and imprints), making a more intimate connection.
Come discover something new!
Our partnering small publishers change as we find new books for our community. We also work directly with authors so our stock is always changing. If you don't see something you are looking for but know it is a partner I work with or could work with, please ask; many suggestions lead me to great new relationships. We love supporting writers and artists! Right now some of our publishing partners are: PM Press, Chelsea Green Publishing, Unsolicited Press, 3:A Taos Press, Microcosm Publishing, Milkweed Editions, Fomite Press, Terrapin Books, Akinoga Press, Slate Roof and Swamp Press, DiWulf Publishing House, Littoral Books, The Good Life Center, Bella Luna Books, Cycles Journal, Red Wheel/Weiser, Forager's Harvest, AK Press, Enchanted Lion Books, Akashic Books, Steiner Books, Independent Publishers Group, and many local and small individuals. We're always adding more goods and new publishers!
