The books are published by 'The Periodical' whose mission statement is as follows:
"The Periodical is publishing re-imagined as public authoring – anyone can take part simply by making and sharing a book. It is inspired by 17th Century pamphleteering as much as by today's contemporary digital communications and continues our exploration of how we create and share new forms of 'Public Goods'".
