A Brief History of Bennett Books
Bennett Books began in Santa Fe
in 1987 when an individual, concerned that Mr. Bennett's works would disappear,
privately offered non-interest loans to finance the cost of reprinting
four of Mr. Bennett's out of print works. Since 1989 the printing and
production costs for Bennett Books' titles have been largely financed
by the owner and through the generosity of a few individuals, and with moneys raised from other
activities. To date, Bennett Books Publishing has reissued, as new editions,
twenty of J.G. Bennett's out-of-print titles and has published under the
title of Making a Soul, an unpublished manuscript, and
its first book by another author, Allen Roth, Sherborne: An Experiment in Transformation.
The Future
Bennett Books continues to play
a role in the bringing back into print all of J.G. Bennett's major works
while keeping existing titles in print. This will be difficult without
outside support. Interested parties, able to invest or donate toward the production of a title, are needed. For more information please see J.G. Bennett Publishing Fund and e-mail the publisher, or by post:
