A photograph of James Jones in 1951, around the publication of From Here to Eternity, a stirring American classic about army life in the calm before Pearl Harbor. The book was instrumental in changing unjust army practices, which created a public outcry when it was first published.
Open Road Media is proud to have restored previously censored scenes and dialogue to the text in our ebook edition. The Restored Edition includes never-before-seen passages that were cut from the original manuscript, including those containing reference to homosexuality in the military, four-letter words, political material, and philosophical content about art and society.
“A blockbuster of a book … raw and brutal and angry.”

So here’s the cover for Green Lamp Media’s first print title, A Little Circle Of Kindred Minds: James Joyce in Paris, by Conor Fennell.
There’ll be a new website for the book in about a fortnight and we’ll be taking pre-orders too!
It’s a great book and the jacket is smashing I think you’ll agree.
Of course the cover is thanks to Ciara!

When you look at the niche sector you are publishing books into, does it really make sense to think about it as book publishing anymore?
More and more, I look at companies who think they are BOOK publishers and I begin to think that at best they are publishers and at worst service companies!
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, just that they haven’t acknowledged the change themselves!
