SPRING 2021About Microcosm
Microcosm has lived in
milk crates, in closets, in a
mud room, in a windowless
basement, in a converted
church, and under a desk at a major
credit card company. We’ve brought our
brightly colored books to infoshops, zine fests,
media summits, bicycle conferences, parks,
street corners, house shows, dirty bars, all
night coffeeshops, art museums, and every
corner of the mainstream where we can
clear away a little space to set up shop. We
set out to save ourselves from not caring,
but out there in the margins we’ve found
communities worth always doing it better
for. Now we have contracts instead of
handshakes, a warehouse instead of a fanny
pack full of zines. We have a staff, we have
relationships in the industry that send our
books to places we wouldn’t have dreamed
we could walk into ourselves. We’re not as
drunk or dirty as we used to be. But still, at
heart, we’ve got this milk crate strapped to
the back of a bike and we’re riding wildly
across town to hand you the book that might
just be the one that saves your life.
Cover by Lindsey Cleworth | Design by Joe Biel
www.Microcosm.pubA letter from the publisher:
Through local wildfires, global pandemic, and an endless
appetite for books, we have somehow survived the past six
months. We kept waiting for the bottom to fall out and instead,
things just kept getting busier. The number of orders that go through
our warehouse has doubled over the past two years. Frankly, it’s been
exhausting. To help keep up, we even added six new job positions this
season (welcome Terry, Makena, Marissa, Jake, and Dylan!) and Kalen
Landow is our new sales director.
We have also seen a lot of publishers hurting deeply this year as old publishing
models have failed them miserably and continued reliance on global corporations
has proven painful, if not futile.
On the more positive tip, it’s been inspiring to watch Amazon’s labor force organize
for safety and fair treatment. If you haven’t been following, Amazon has slowly and
quietly been disinvesting from selling books over the past year or longer and has
taken to moving them out of their warehouses aggressively in 2020. In a certain
sense, things will never be the same but at least more of the bookselling pie can
return to passionate independents. And we’ve watched many indie shops employ
creative strategies to stay afloat and thriving.
Simultaneously, and probably as a result, we have grown 42% overall and 514% in
the gift market this year. Perhaps it’s the fact that we have to rely on thousands of
small names instead of a few big ones. And if we had it our way, these small names
would be big in lights because you are far more important than the people who
receive the credit but so rarely do any of the work.
That is all to say that we appreciate your contributions and recognize your individual
struggle. And we appreciate you trusting in us as a source for books and zines. Let’s just
hope that 2021 is a little bit easier.
We also have a weekly pod/videocast if we want to listen to two nerds dissect publishing
skills: www.microcosm.pub/podcast
Please let us know if there’s anything that we can do for you during this difficult time.

There’s a common thread of women being
excluded and gatekept from the hardcore

that notion and shows that women have
still been able to overcome, kick ass,
and shred alongside the best of them.

THE SCANDALOUS UNTOLD HISTORY OF WOMEN IN BICYCLING
April Streeter
A feminist bicycle history
A feminist history of bicycling for sport and
adventure spans a century of women who
changed the world from two wheels. This
vivacious tale, peppered with fascinating
details from primary sources, shows how
women were sometimes the stars of bicycle
races and exhibitions, and other times
had to overcome sexism, exclusion, and
economic inequalities in order to ride. From
the almost burlesque show races and cre-
ative performances of the 19th century to
the evolution of cycling as a modern sport
and form of transportation, April Streeter
conveys the evolving emotional resonance
