About

Mortar is a one-person micropress that aims to disseminate radical literature from a diversity of leftist perspectives, with a particular eye toward new translation and archival materials.

All titles are sold wholesale via Ingram distribution. If you’re a reader curious about a Mortar book, please request it from your local independent bookseller! They’re also available through Bookshop.org, where you can choose to support a number of different organizations and retailers through your purchase.

Mortar operates on a profit-for-survival model. It is made possible by the archivists and infoshops of the world, and especially by Wooden Shoe Books & Records. For this reason, all titles in the Underpinnings series are published with no rights reserved, available for free download on their respective pages.
