On this page, readers can find some potential discussion points on various V. Press titles, authors writing about their work, and themes that run through some of our pamphlets and collections.
For UK readers wanting to read a selection of titles on a theme, our Book Bundles page offers some savings on buying 2 or 3 titles on some themes. (Please check that page for the particular themes and titles currently available as bundles.)
We're keen to encourage reading groups, teachers or university lecturers who'd like to feature a V. Press title in their reading programme/teaching list. V. Press can offer UK-based groups buying five or more copies of any V. Press title in one order to one delivery address in the UK, the same number of another V. Press title (of equivalent price) for free (delivery at same time to same address). *
If any groups are interested in talking with V. Press authors about their book/pamphlet, we can put you in touch too with the authors directly to discuss the possibilities of an 'author visit' (in person or through eg skype).
Please email Sarah at VPresspublishingAToutlookDOTcom for more details about this.
