About this listen

In today's conversation Bremond Berry MacDougall and Lisa Endo Cooper, the duo behind Quite Literally Books talk about their heritage press republishing forgotten works by women authors. Lisa and Bremond share their journey of starting a heritage press without prior business experience. They describe the steep learning curve of navigating production, marketing, and sales. The physical design of their books reflects meticulous attention to detail. They use premium Munken paper milled in Europe, custom typography by designer Louise Fili, and lay-flat dispersion binding that allows one-handed reading without breaking the spine. Some book covers feature work by artist Anthony Russo. Their literary mission centers on republishing works that reveal how little has changed in over a century regarding issues of gender, race, and sexuality. They navigate the complex legacies of authors, acknowledging that women can be both progressive and flawed. Their first three releases explored the theme of home. The November release includes Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a cookbook from the 1890s, and all examining themes of home and domestic power.
