Books with a purpose

Knowledge should not disappear.

Books4Books is a publishing house. We commission, edit, typeset and print our own titles, and we sell them directly to readers as ebooks and paperbacks.

The press allocates 30% of book-sale proceeds to our prison commissary initiative, initially focused on U.S. prisons. Commissary funds allow incarcerated people to purchase everyday items from their facility's store.

[INSERT VERIFIED PROGRAM DETAIL — describe, in the organisation's own words, how commissary support is administered, which facilities are served, how recipients are identified and how often disbursements are made.]

More than a book

A book can preserve a tradition. A book can change a life.

Publish

02

Sell directly

Books are sold direct to readers, so proceeds stay with the press rather than a chain of intermediaries.
