Eight books- and all at once! Impressive. I, too, like to root for the little guy. It is hard for me to purchase books these days that I have not seen a lot of press or reviews about but I am more than willing to give these guys a try. I wonder what other small publishers others recommend?Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-28728564617948273742009-09-07T21:14:11.901-04:002009-09-07T21:14:11.901-04:00I was recently contacted by Harrison as well and w...I was recently contacted by Harrison as well and was amazed at the time he took with me.

If I read about a company that is horrible to their workers, I generally do not like to do business with them.
