What we do
Open from
Open from
day one.
A university-press process without the paywall at the end of it. Book-length argument is how the humanities, the social sciences and much of law and medicine do their most serious thinking; it is also the form that has been slowest to open up. We exist to close that gap, for a small number of books each year.

How it works
The first list is forming
There are as yet no titles. The catalogue will fill as books are accepted, and every book will be free to read from the day of publication. The plates are from the archive on which our covers will draw.
