Topic: Loompanics Unlimited

	Loompanics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Loompanics was in business for nearly 30 years.
		Loompanics did not fall into the categories of mainstream liberal, conservative, or libertarian politics.
		Loompanics' FAQ stated that the company's name is a play on words inspired by Hoy's fondness for National Lampoon.

	The Best Book Catalog In The World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Loompanics now carries over 800 titles, including 160 of its own publications, justifying Newsweek's description of it as "the biggest of the not-ready-for-mass-market publishing outfits." Because the marketing strategy is many titles mostly in smallish quantities, prices tend to be high.
		Loompanics reset and reprinted Ragnar Redbeard's Social Darwinist diatribe Might Is Right (1896) and The Autobiography of a Criminal (1807) by Henry Tufts, the earliest American career criminal to have published his autobiography.
		For Loompanics, victimization is voluntary insofar as it is avoidable.

		The Loompanics catalog itself was often as fun to read as the books it offered.
		Even when some of the books in Loompanics' catalog personally made me uneasy or grossed me out (as quite a few did), I was delighted to live in a country where such a publisher and such a free market of ideas could thrive.
		Even though I knew sales were declining and the Loompanics staff shrinking, never did it dawn on me that the company would just slam shut one day.

	» Today's Video: Mike Hoy & Loompanics Unlimited
		I spoke with Hoy two days ago and I'm happy to report that it's not ill health or some lawsuit that is responsible for closing Loompanics; rather, it is fatigue with slowly declining sales.
		Most books in Loompanics' legendary catalog -- which Hoy proudly displays during his AuthorViews video -- can not be found in even the largest bookstore; now, however, they're available online from stores such as Amazon.com that sell virtually every book.
		Loompanics will be greatly missed as the problem child of American publishing -- a living symbol of freedom of the press.

	LATE GREAT LOOMPANICS COMPILATIONS - Paladin Press
		Here it is, folks, the last gasp of Loompanics Unlimited at its rawest, raunchiest, radical best.
		These four compilations of articles and features from almost two decades of Loompanics catalogs (“The Best Book Catalog in the World!”) are the final repositories for the most far-out, in-your-face, “I can’t believe they can publish this stuff” information for which Loompanics was justly famous.
		If you don’t have a strong opinion about the meaning (Isn’t it clear?) and limits (Are there any?) of the First Amendment, you certainly will after being exposed to the collected works of the late, great Loompanics Unlimited.

		Loompanics Unlimited prides itself on publishing and selling the world's most controversial books.

	Preface to the Right to be Greedy by "For Ourselves"--Bob Black
		In the early 1980’s I got to be in contact with publisher Mike Hoy of Loompanics Unlimited.
		There too he staked out an extreme position as an amoral egoist anarcho-capitalist: Loompanics, he boasted, was "the lunatic fringe of the libertarian movement." By the time I happened by, Hoy was beginning to find even that position restrictive.
		I slanted it toward a mostly libertarian or apolitical readership which, I could safely assume, knew nothing about the situationists or their predecessors such as dada, surrealism, and lettrism.

		Loompanics is perhaps the only publisher in business for thirty years that has a disclaimer like, “Loompanics Unlimited cannot be responsible for any shipment of books seized by any government body.
		As I mentioned before, I was first exposed to Loompanics buying a copy of the aforementioned Outlaw’s Bible at a short-lived Anarchist bookstore in Paterson, NJ around 1991.
		It would be great if Hoy could release the Loompanics catalog into the public domain, though I suppose that would take getting the permission of all his authors, many of whom write under pseudonyms.

		Removing not only the link but the very name "Loompanics," she (?) cited the case of Sherman Austin.
		The yarn this idiot spins (that if she mentions the existence of Loompanics that her webmaster would be arrested by the FBI) is so at odds with what actually happened--that there is no chance she is mistaken--she is deliberately lying and consciously trying to spread fear and ignorance.
		At the present time, our civil liberties are under unprecedented attack, and it is more important than ever for all boosters of individual liberty to be open and honest and accurate with each other.

		Trains would have to run at much slower speeds to ensure that engineers would be able to stop in time to avoid being damaged.
		In October, 1995, an attack by "Sons of Gestapo" derailed an Amtrak Sunset Unlimited train at a remote desert site 59 miles southwest of Phoenix, Arizona, killing one and injuring 78.
		The railroad warning system was bypassed by running electrical cord from a l9-foot track-rail section located at a bend in the track just before a trestle, to the adjoining rails.

		As authors, we agreed that Loompanics was a peerless publisher: "They always play straight with you," as Hogshire put it.
		With a triumphant cry that, frankly, from what I'd seen of his condition and physique, I would have thought was beyond him, he made a grab toward the wall for something I hadn't noticed: the rifle that was leaning against it.
		Hogshire left the impression that, as befits a Loompanics author, for him nothing was off-limits.

	Bob Black's letter to Seattle Police (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The following is a photocopy of the narcing letter that "citizen informant" attorney Bob Black (Robert C. Black, author of the aptly titled — given his "job" — "The Abolition of Work") sent to the Seattle Police on February 21, 1996 informing on author Jim Hogshire.
		This letter was reproduced on page 17 of the Fall 1996 Loompanics Unlimited Supplement.
		(Loompanics is Jim Hogshire's publisher, and was, until this disgraceful incident, the publisher of Bob Black; following this incident, they pulped Bob Black's books.) See also Jim Hogshire's comments on the slimy behavior of police informant and attorney, Bob Black.

	Loompanics
		If Walden or Crown books aren't exactly your idea of literary pleasure dens, "Loompanics" might be for you.
		If you are a progressive thinker, this catalog and the books it sells will open more circuits in your nervous system; if you're closed-minded, it'll burn out what few circuits you have left and send you running to the mailbox with a letter to your congressperson.
		I've ordered several books through Loompanics (including Robert Anton Wilson's "Natural Law, or Don't Put a Rubber on Your Willy," and Mike Gunderloy's "How to Publish a Fanzine.") and the service has been great.

		About twelve years ago I bought a Loompanics title at an Anarchist bookstore in Paterson, NJ called the Outlaw’s Bible.
		Up to that point I’d heard of Loompanics, but found it hard to find their books in pre-Internet suburban-hell New Jersey, so I was thrilled to finally find some for sale.
