From early 1993 through 2004, Eschaton Books was the expression of
Brendan Tripp's vision, starting with "chapbook" editions of his poetry
and evolving to a substantial voice in metaphysical publishing.
Eschaton faced the typical challenges of small presses, how to get noticed, how to get into the big stores, etc. The company's web site launched in 1996, and they were also and early participant in Amazon's system. However, the search for "major chain" distribution was what doomed Eschaton, a story for another day. Although non-functional, the eschatonbooks.com site had continued to sit there on the web, silent, largely unvisited, like some tragic ruin. After all this time we couldn't stand the thought of it disappearing altogether, so it's been preserved here for historical interest. However, in the Fall of 2007, Eschaton, zombie-like, rose from its untimely grave. Though not the company it was before, it now exists to bring "special projects" to light, primarily via print-on- demand publishing. Our first project is a series of books for the Avatrait division of Simuality, starting with a special edition hard-cover book, and then moving into periodic releases that will present the images of the current Avatrait Gallery show. |
