Indie publisher Akashic Books scored a big milestone yesterday, watching “Go the F*** To Sleep climb to the #1 spot on the Amazon Bestseller list–more than one month before its June 14th publication date.
UPDATE: The Bay Citizen has more about the pirate PDF that helped the book go viral. Adam Mansbach (The End of the Jews) wrote the book and Ricardo Cortes illustrated. Author A.J. Jacobs called it “the most honest children’s book ever written.”
In February, we interviewed Akashic Books publisher Johnny Temple about his press. Below, we’ve included links to the full interview. (Via Denise Oswald)
