The B&R Samizdat Express is a small book publishing company started in 1974 by Barbara and Richard Seltzer. It originally published its content, a variety of books on various subjects,[1] in electrical form.[2]
They started in September 1974, publishing Richard's "The Lizard of Oz." In July 1993 they expanded to sell public-domain electronic texts on PC diskettes, primarily for the blind. In 2001 they branched out to book collections on CD ROM. And in 2004 they added book collections on DVD. Their offerings are available through their online store. They send out the Ebook of the Week and the Kids' Book of the Week as email attachments to free subscribers.[1][3]
Since January 1994, they have also published a free electronic newsletter, Internet-on-a-Disk, which discusses Internet trends and points to Internet resources for business, education, and the blind. Their homepage gets about half a million page views, from about a quarter million visitors because of text content indexing on search engines.[1][3][4]
Their main business is now publishing ebooks for ereaders (Kindle, Nook, Sony, iPad, Kobo, etc.), with over 11,400 titles available. "Samizdat Editions". http://www.samizdat.com/samizdateditions.html.
