Timglaset Editions to cease publishing.
After long deliberation I have decided to put Timglaset to rest. The press has been under a lot of pressure since the recession in 2022-23. Manufacturing and shipping costs have risen sharply and sales of the books have unfortunately taken a dive. For a press which has always worked with tight margins and relied on unpaid work and financial support from my own pockets this development has been disturbing.
About a month ago it all came to a point where continuing with the press, in its present form, became impossible, when my webshop platform announced its intention to raise prices with 110%. I simply cannot pay the new fee, which means that Timglaset will be without an online selling platform April 1st.
So what will happen now?
Timglaset will stop publishing new books.
I will establish a simple new website with a list of available books, which will allow those who still have an interest to order from the backlist.
Up until April 1st the current webshop will be active and there will be a 30% discount on all orders. Just apply the coupon code GOODBYE at checkout.
Sincerely,
Joakim Norling, publisher
