About
Pear Press is a small publisher that publishes big books. We plan to publish no more than one book every year or two because it takes time to deliver quality content.
We believe books are still important in the 21st century. We strive to combine the best of old-world publishing and new-world media. Our mission is to maximize the reach of our content around the world, and so the content takes many forms: printed book, audio book, e-book, video, blog, Web tutorial, e-mail newsletter or live presentation by one of our authors.
Pear Press books are distributed by the Perseus Books Group.
