About Publish or Perish, Inc.®

A Commitment to Quality Over Compromise


Publish or Perish, Inc.® is an academic publisher—often known simply as Publish or Perish—founded on a simple principle: to produce authoritative texts with an unwavering commitment to quality. We believe that essential academic works deserve to be presented in a format that is as durable and elegant as the knowledge they contain.

For years, our book production was handled by a large-scale manufacturer who prioritized volume over value. The quality declined, fulfillment was slow, and we knew a change was essential. We made the decision to bring our production in-house, taking complete control over the entire process to ensure every book meets our exacting standards.

The Tangible Difference of In-House Production

This commitment requires a significant investment, but it's one we proudly embrace. To ensure our books lay flat, we print on grain short paper—a choice that results in a vastly superior reading experience. For binding, we utilize the best method for each book's specific needs, from strong, flexible PUR adhesives to traditional sewn bindings for maximum durability and longevity. These are quality decisions that large-scale manufacturers, focused purely on volume, often avoid.

It's the difference between a book treated as just a number and a book crafted by a team that genuinely cares.
