Subscriptions

Subscribers to Greenboathouse Press agree to purchase one copy of each book prior to its release; this arrangement not only guarantees the subscriber a copy, but allows us to better plan and budget each production. In addition to a 20% discount on each project, subscribers will also receive prospecti (book announcements) and occasional gratis ephemera (small pamphlets, random experiments, etc.).

Projects will range from single broadsheets to typographical ephemera, to chapbooks, to larger projects including extended prose works (a novel is in the planning stages for 2011).

With the launch of Greenboathouse Press, a number of ephemeral projects have been completed, in various editions (depending on what papers were available). A number of each of these projects has been reserved for early subscribers to the press, and will be available for a limited time. These projects will go to the first subscribers to sign up, and once gone, they're gone. The sidebar of this webpage indicates which of these projects are still available to new subscribers.

Pricing / Schedule

With the expectation of 1-3 titles each year, as well as miscellaneous side-projects, the cost of subscription will range from $125—$300/year, including shipping & handling costs. An initial payment of $200 secures the subscription, with that value being applied to the subscriber's first purchases. Once these funds have been expended, payment continues on a book-by-book basis.

Subscribers may, of course, elect to withdraw at any time, and to purchase selected projects only, but doing so will result in the removal of the 20% discount.

 

Example (current subscription):

Initial payment: $200.00

• This (And That Was That) : $40.00 (non-sub: $50.00)
• Against the Hard Angle: $52.00 (non-sub: $65.00)
• Anatomy for the Artist: $60.00 (non-sub: $75.00)
  
• Beckett broadsheet: Free to subscribers.
• Vandercook Centenary broadsheet: Free to subscribers.
• Greenboathouse Press Introductory Pamphlet: Free to subscribers.
• SHIPPING: A single fee of $10 will allow for the shipment of all of the above to subscribers.
  
  TOTAL: $162.00
  
  Subscribers may then hold-over their remaining balance towards future projects, or they may use that balance to purchase backlist items at a 20% discount:
  
• “Matters of Concern” broadsheet: $20.00 (non-sub: $25.00)
• Centaur Specimen: $40.00 (non-sub: $50.00)
• Robert Bringhurst broadsheet: $20.00 (non-sub: $25.00)

Edition Limitations

The standard edition will be 126 copies, comprising 100 sales copies and 26 for private distribution (author's copies, press copies, presentation & review copies), although variation in the editions may occur from time to time due to unforeseen circumstances (stacks of paper spontaneously combusting or eaten by the press, etc.).

How it Works

Prior to the release of each book, subscribers will receive, via Canada Post, a prospectus, detailing the project and including descriptions of the planned editions (if more than one edition state is planned). In addition, an announcement will be sent, via email, including a link to a segregated webpage, which will include a secure PayPal button listing the subscriber's reduced price for the book. Once payment is confirmed by PayPal, a notice of confirmation will be sent, and the book, once released, will be on its way. (This process to begin after the initial funds have been expended.)

The prospectus will also include an order form for those preferring to pay by cheque, and in this case shipment will be posted once the completed form and payment have arrived.

If you would like to become a subscriber, the PayPal button below will take you to a secure page on the PayPal server, which will allow you to make the initial payment of $200 with a major credit card, a debit account, or a PayPal account. You will also be asked to supply your email address, your shipping address, and any additional comments you might like to include. Once payment is received we will send out a confirmation email, and with the release of each title you will be notified of your remaining balance until the initial payment is expended.
