Square Inch Press

We are gathering funds for the newly launched Square Inch Press 方寸書社 (SIP), which will be the publishing wing of the Daoist Foundation 道教基金會 , a US-based Daoist religious and educational non-profit (501[c][3]) and public charity (170[b][1][A][vi]) dedicated to fostering authentic Daoist study and practice and to preserving and transmitting traditional Daoist culture. As one of the few Daoist presses, aspiring to create a similar cultural space as Snow Lion or Wisdom Publications in Buddhism and Paulist Press in Christianity, Square Inch Press will publish tradition-based books with a Daoist aesthetics and material culture. The current fundraiser aims to gather seed-money for book-design, type-setting, copy-editing, and the actual printing. The first projected title is Entering Stillness: A Guide to Daoist Practice 入靜指南 by Louis Komjathy 康思奇, Ph.D., CSO and Kate Townsend 唐鄉恩, EAMP, CSO. Anyone who makes a donation of $75 or more will receive a complimentary copy upon publication. On March 29, we met with the book-designers and type-setters, and we are now aiming for a publication date of June 1, 2022. As is the case with other Daoist Foundation projects, all contributions are tax-deductible.
