Paper Egg Books
Featherproof has a ‘new baby’ and it’s called Paper Egg Books.
From the website:
Ladies and gentlemen, we humbly welcome you all to the future of publishing. Just kidding.
Actually, welcome to this new thing we’re doing. The “we” is featherproof books, and the “thing” is a subscription-only series of books. Here’s the idea: You subscribe to paper egg for just $20 a year, and we send you two beautiful, limited-edition books by some of the most exciting authors working today, writing in disciplines often disregarded by that big, ugly marketplace (we’re talking little, beautiful forms like the novella and the short-story collection). More soon, as we get hatching.
I don’t know much else about the project as the site is still unfurnished, but the idea sounds cool. Keep an eye on this; they say more to come in early 2009.
(Thanks to Tobias Carroll for the link)

Oh man, I wrote that “about” info at “about” 2:30am, after a six-hour struggle to install some open-source subscription management software. That’s somewhat embarrassing now that people are actually looking at it, but hell, so’s the rest of my life.
I guess what’s primarily new about it is that the books will be limited-edition and subscription-only. But we admit that it’s not that new. There’s some business-model stuff that I won’t get into here, that might be sort of new. We’ll have some more info soon, some announcements we’re pretty excited to make, including the first authors lined up, etc.
Thanks, everyone, for the kind words.
