About Greenery Press?
I am nice -- what I choose to do in my private life has nothing to do with whether I'm nice.
- Janet Hardey
According to Wikipedia:
Greenery Press is a publishing house based in Emeryville, California, specializing in books on BDSM (particularly femdom) and polyamory, with over 50 titles in print. Most titles are non-fiction ...
Greenery Press was founded in 1991 by author Janet Hardy. In 1995 it merged with Jay Wiseman Books under the Greenery name. Hardy continues to run the company, while Wiseman continues to serve on the Press's board of directors.
Greenery Press closed its new books program in 2019 upon the retirement of editorial director Janet W. Hardy and is no longer publishing new titles.
CITE: the Greenery Press entry on Wikipedia
Their most well known books are The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy and SM 101: A Realistic Introduction by Jay Wiseman.
The company appears to be defunct. The URL for Greenery Press --- http://www.greenerypress.com/ --- currently redirects to a porn site. But many of its books are stil available for purchase elsewhere online. (See the list under the Finding Greenery Press Books Online heading further on.)
