Company Information
MAINSPRING
PRESS specializes in high-quality, peer-reviewed books
and electronic publications for researchers, librarians, archivists,
and advanced collectors of historic sound recordings. We are a
privately held LLC chartered in Wilmington, Delaware, with an
editorial office in Denver, Colorado.
The
company was launched in 1999, initially to provide online resources
for record researchers and collectors and released its first titles
in 2000. It became a full-time publishing operation in 2002.
We
work closely with an international community of advanced archivists,
researchers, and collectors. Our author
list includes John Bolig, Tim Brooks, William R. Bryant, Paul
Charosh, Kurt Nauck, Brian Rust, Allan Sutton, Alex Van Der Tuuk,
Raymond Wile, and other recognized experts in the field.
Our free digest of online articles
for record collectors and researchers celebrated its thirteenth
year online in April 2012 and currently averages 42,000 hits per
month. Our Mainspring
Record Collectors' Blog, launched in June 2011, is one of
the most-visited sites for vintage-record and phonograph collectors.

Because
of high demand for review copies, we must limit distribution to
print publications with verifiable circulation or sales data and
an appropriate audience. To prevent unauthorized resale of review
copies we may, at our discretion, supply marked or unbound copies
to reviewers.
To
request a review copy, please write or e-mail
us with the following information: Your publication's title; its
ISSN or ISBN number; its publisher's name and contact information;
audited or other verifiable circulation or sales statistics; date
of the issue in which the review is scheduled to appear; and the
publisher's agreement to supply us with a complimentary copy of
the publication(s) in which the review(s) appear.
We generally do not supply review copies to websites, radio stations,
or other non-print media.
