Trouser Press Books is a New York-based publisher specializing in quality music journalism and fiction. The roots of the company go back to 1974, when three friends launched a rock and roll fanzine. Trouser Press existed for ten years and spawned a series of acclaimed record guides published by major houses. The contents of those books later formed the basis for the Trouser Press website, which remains active as an online music publication, a fully indexed magazine archive and more.

Our titles are available in paperback and eBook from Amazon. Ingram distributes our titles to bookstores and libraries. OverDrive can supply E-books to libraries. We also do direct wholesale — email us at Books@TrouserPress.com.

Ira Robbins is the Editorial Director of Trouser Press Books.
