roughbooks

The roughbooks label belongs to the publisher Urs Engeler. And the name is programmatic. Books are published in small runs, produced very economically, and presented in a standard design devoid of any frills or gimmicks. Very chic! The company publishes books of poetry by new and established writers, anthologies, special combinations of material, bold translations – and all of them produced according to a publishing model that on the one hand takes independence a step further, but at the same time works very well thanks to their readers’ commitment and their willingness to fork out money for their products, which are only available on the internet or by direct order: books that are as cheap as can be and as good as can be.
