Vertebrate Publishing
@vertebratepub.bsky.social
Sheffield publisher, inspiring adventure one book at a time. Cycling, running, climbing, walking and occasionally swimming adventures.
When I started buying outdoorsy books the publisher got 65% of the cover price if the book was bought retail. Now it’s 35%.
That’s all.
That’s all.

30% of all clothes made are never sold. 25 million garments were returned and then went to landfill in the UK last year. We don’t wear 75% of our wardrobe. Many items are worn once then discarded.
Beware technology that allows us to produce books fast!
