Last Gasp Books Fall Publishing Kickstarter

For 45 years, San Francisco based Last Gasp Publishing has been publishing books, as well as distributing books from small and independent publishers to a network of booksellers worldwide. With book publishing changing dramatically with the increase of technology and online resources, it has become difficult to publish books. In order to continue with the fall publishing season, Last Gasp has launched a Kickstarter to take care of the up front costs. Last Gasp has produced books for some amazing people over the last four decades.
From the Last Gasp Kickstarter page:
From our early years publishing underground comix to more recent art books, we've tried to publish unusual artists whose artwork moves us on a visceral level. In more than four decades we have published books with artists such as Robert Crumb, Mark Ryden,Camille Rose Garcia,Gary Baseman, Robert Williams, Junko Mizuno,Trina Robbins, S. Clay Wilson, Justin Green, Spain Rodriguez, Keiji Nakazawa, Suehiro Maruo, Elizabeth McGrath, Timothy Leary, Todd Schorr, Ron English, Laurie Lipton, Diane DiPrima, and countless others.
With about a week left to go and over 50% more funding to be pledged, Last Gasp needs everyone's support to reach the $75K funding goal. Posting, tweeting, Instagramming, and all other forms of social media can help spread the word. Choosing an awesome reward and pledging any amount to the Last Gasp Kickstarter will help keep publishing alive, even if just for a little while longer.
