Morty Sklar, publisher of the small press The Spirit That Moves Us, is closing his business. The press, which produces both books and a magazine, has been a one-man operation run by Sklar, who is based in Jackson Heights, N.Y., for the past 35 years. Sklar learned the publishing business while working with Alan Kornblum in Iowa in the 1970s at Toothpaste Press. (Kornblum now runs the indie Coffee House Press.)
Sklar, who currently has a vast collection of new books in his apartment, is selling his overstock at $0.75 for paperbacks and $1.25 for hardcovers. Customers can see his catalog here.
