william & park is the imprint name that I use for the books that I publish, named for my maternal grandfather, William Albert Park. The books published by William & Park are the ones that I feel best about, the “comforting presence,” as the great Nabokov put it, whose “pilot light is steadily burning somewhere in the basement … a quiet little explosion of familiar warmth.” I hope and plan to add more lights here over the coming years.
