Best of the Web All Over the Web

Best of the Web 2009

ASF contributor Ben Percy calls Dzanc Books “visionary.”

He also calls on readers to support their “venture that transcends the bottom-line, that trumpets what the big houses have crassly elbowed aside, that reminds us reading is more than entertainment, that books are more than commodities.”

“Their standard,” he says, “is bad-ass literary excellence.”
