In August, we published our second book: Cyrano de Bergerac, Brian Hooker’s brilliant 1923 blank-verse translation into English of the classic swashbuckling romantic French play by Edmond Rostand.
The play is in the public domain, and so is the text of our edition (but not the cover). You can get our edition for free from the major ebook stores: Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo, and Nook.
The lovely cover, designed by Jenn Reese, is copyrighted and not in the public domain.
In February, we published our first book: Samuel R. Delany’s 1979 memoir Heavenly Breakfast: An Essay on the Winter of Love. The book chronicles Delany’s time living in a commune that was also a rock band, in New York City’s East Village, in the winter of 1967–1968.
You can buy the ebook for US$4.99 (or similar local pricing) from the Apple Books Store or the Kindle Store.
The Constellation Press website is now up and running. Thanks to Jeremy and Jenn of Clockpunk Studios for the lovely design and implementation. I highly recommend them.
(The publicly visible parts of the site are pretty minimal right now, but I’ll make more of the site visible as the press develops.)
There’s likely to be no new news for a while yet, but stay tuned.
