What is a Pocketbook?
Firestarter’s Pocketbook Series is all about getting good stories by good writers into the hands (and pockets) of readers.
They are designed to be read. Left around. Worn out. And possibly even coveted.
The more they are read, the more they will develop a patina. Unlike most modern books, they don’t have laminated covers, so they will get creased, scratched and bent out of shape. Their shape is based on the shape and size of a modern cell phone. This makes the text easy to read and the book itself easy to carry around.

It's like a paper version of the 45
Inspired by old 7-inch singles, and just 78mm x 148mm, Firestarter Pocketbooks are highly portable, entertaining and kinda cute.
We recommend that you read them more than once to get where the author is coming from. Remember the person who wrote your Pocketbook spent a lot of time getting things just right.
Read it carefully. Read it casually. There’s no right way. Once you’re finished…read it again. You might be surprised by what you find.
Buy our books
We’re a brand new publisher and we’re finding our way. One of our biggest supporters so far has been the crew at Bruce McKenzie Booksellers. They’ve offered us sales advice, design advice, and good, old-fashioned encouragement. They’re also selling our books.
Of course we’d prefer it if you went in to visit them when you buy one of our books, but if you’re from out of town BMB have got you covered. You can buy our books from Palmy’s best book shop here:
