  • www.themetapress.orgThe Metapress is a small scale online publishing press. Exploring the space between the digital and the analogue, it was founded as a response to the growing amount of books being digitised and read online. It aims to embrace the internet as a global information-sharing network, but also tries to offer a way of haptically reconnecting with the printed word.
