Our Story

Bloof Books is collective poetry press based in Central New Jersey, publishing perfect-bound paperbacks, limited-edition handmade chapbooks, broadsides, fine art prints, and ephemera. We were founded in 2007, and have just celebrated out tenth year. We hope to be doing this at least ten more.

We are a member of CLMP (Community of Literary Magazines and Press). We are an independent small press, a micropress in fact. We are “tiny by design.”

Our books are printed by Spencer Printing in Honesdale, PA, and BookMobile in Minneapolis, MN. We also distribute copies to the trade via Ingram, and offer them globally via POD network reaching online retailers everywhere. Our handmade chapbooks are printed and assembled in NJ in our own studio.
