Dissemination
Shibboleth self‑publishes a catalogue that grows out of its socially engaged research on language.
Thirty percent of every print run is donated to the institutions with which we work during the production of our printed matter. The remaining seventy percent is sold internationally through bookstores and fairs, allowing the co‑op to draw attention to its social projects while sustaining its own employees. This 30/70 model underpins a project that treats publishing as a form of social prescribing, turning books into the engine of a self‑sustaining ecology. For this reason, we are committed to producing publications that function as practical exercise books and minimise paper waste by embracing production limits as a creative advantage.
