We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Update #3 · Jul 31, 2011 · comment

It's looking a little grim here folks. And sometimes wounds turn into scars which build character, look cool, and eventually make us tougher. 

But if the project doesn't succeed we won't be able to reprint this book until at least a year from now, if ever. 

The proofs are approved and sitting at the printer ready to turn into plates and become ink on paper, but the money just isn't there. 

So if you could spread the word on facebook, twitter, or just good ol' fashioned telling your friends, it seems the last week is always the kicker!

Take care,
Microcosm

New Rewards!

Update #2 · Jul 27, 2011 · comment

Dear Friends:

It seems like everywhere I look these days it's news about another place closing up shop. Or media going online only. 

But Microcosm keeps on chugging and I think it's safe to say that everyone here is willing and has already made the personal compromises necessary to make this project work and keep producing what New York has taken to calling "content" firmly rooted in the days when it was still referred to as "books" and "zines."

With that in mind, we've just added two brand new books as rewards:

Rad Dad anthology book by Tomas Moniz and Jeremy Adam Smith

And Cambodian Grrrl by Anne Elizabeth Moore

Neither is released for a few more months through proper channels so snatch 'em up here first.

And read paper!

Limited Edition poster prints

Update #1 · Jul 14, 2011 · comment

Each week we are going to add another limited edition reward and this week it's a three color screenprint poster promoting energy politics around Dooda Desert Rock. We'll have more limited rewards next week. 

This will be our only Kickstarter campaign this year so please spread the word, post it on Facebook, and let your friends know about it.
