A quick update about the Unbound Book Festival.
We will have our new LED installation at Stephens College all day Saturday, April 22 (not Friday and Saturday as previously announced).
Here’s why you should stop by:
See you there!
We had a great time celebrating the completion of the Literature Emitting Diodes Anthology. RoscoeBooks was a wonderful host, and we were thrilled to present readings by four of our contributing authors!
Thanks to Robert Eric Shoemaker, Ruby Figueroa, Lisa Torem, and Laura Knickelbine for reading!
Attention readers: this is your friendly reminder that the Literature Emitting Diodes Anthology book launch is only a week away!
RoscoeBooks was kind enough to host our celebration, which will feature readings by some of the talented LED contributors! The event will begin at 6:30pm on Saturday, January 7th, 2017. Join our Facebook Event for updates.
RoscoeBooks is located at 2142 W Roscoe St, Chicago, IL 60618.
The LED Anthology is printed. All that’s left to do is celebrate!
Please join us for a reading by LED authors to officially launch the book. We’ll be returning to the site of our April installation: the wonderful RoscoeBooks! The event will begin at 6:30pm on January 7th, 2017. Join our Facebook Event for updates.
We’ll have refreshments and crisp new books – what could be better?
RoscoeBooks is located at 2142 W Roscoe St, Chicago, IL 60618.
The wait is finally over! We have 200 copies of the LED Anthology, and we couldn’t be more excited to share them.
You can purchase a copy on the Partial Press website:
http://www.partialpress.net/catalog.html#led-anthology
We’re eagerly awaiting a proof of the paperback LED Anthology, which means it’s time for you to place an order. If you pre-order the anthology, we’ll ship your copy with some sweet letterpress ephemera, hot off the press. Don’t wait though, once we approve the proof and our books ship, any purchase will just be a regular ol’ order (still a pretty swell deal at only $6.00).
You’re probably wondering where you can place your order. Allow us to introduce our new website! Partial Press is the umbrella organization behind LED (you may have noticed it on our about page) and now that LED is moving on to this exciting new phase, we decided it was time to launch Partial Press and begin rolling out other exciting publishing projects. Visit the Catalog Page to ore-order the LED Anthology and be sure to check out our other publications for sale.
LED news will continue to be posted here with our archive, but you’ll want to check Partial Press for other announcements and opportunities in the realm of experimental and small press publishing. The Partial Press Facebook page (formerly our LED page) will continue to feature LED content. You can also follow Partial Press on Tumblr if you’re into that.
Here are a few photos from our first evening at Krispyfringe Vintage. As usual, the installation will be up for a few weeks, so stop by to read Harnidh Kaur’s excellent poem, How to Drape a Sari.

Exciting news, readers: You will receive 10% off your purchase when you mention LED at Krispyfringe Vintage. A discount just for supporting poetry!
Stop in and say hi, read Harnidh’s poem (probably more than once – you’ll want to), and maybe leave with a new-to-you outfit or accessory. What could be better?
This Saturday, we will execute our final installation! Harnidh Kaur’s poem, How to Drape a Sari, will spend the next few weeks at Krispyfringe Vintage in West Town / Ukrainian Village.
We’re very happy to be included in Krispyfringe’s snazzy window display, and we think you’ll enjoy their aesthetic too. Krispyfringe sells clothing and accessories as well as home goods and furniture, so if you’re into cool vintage items then stop by during business hours.
Krispyfringe is open:
Wednesday – Friday: 12pm to 7pm

Closed Mondays and Tuesdays
They are located at 2130 W. Chicago Ave.
Finally! Here are some images from our current installation, Kelsey Hoff’s poem, Lampyridae, at 57th Street Books.
As we mentioned before, we are a little behind schedule, so you still have plenty of time to come see this fantastic window display (thanks to 57th Street Books for the thematic selection of books and surprises) in person. We’ll be sharing more documentation soon, but please enjoy these images in the meantime.
