Local Philadelphia Publisher Featured in The Atlantic

Publishing Business Today is excited to feature the Atlantic's latest "Cities" piece featuring fellow and much-respected Philadelphia press, the Head and the Hand. In this new era of publishing, defined by declining print sales and the Big Five's shrinking market share, it is encouraging to see a new press find success with the printed word. Founded a year ago by Nic Esposito, the Head and the Hand reimagines the book industry by focusing on forming deep connections between readers, authors, and the press itself. Atlantic Wire's Bonni Tsui sat down with Esposito to discuss urban farming, how it informed the creation of the Head and the Hand, and the creation of the press's first almanac quarterly Rust Belt Rising.
