Praise for The Private Press's chapbooks

Tim Thorne reviews A Slice of Cherry Pie and We Don't Stop Here:

'Both these chapbooks are gems. The concept behind them was daring; it could so easily have flopped, or (almost as bad) succeeded as a kind of creative writing course exercise. They have been stylishly produced and it is good for an old-fashioned book lover like me to have their contents plucked from the paperless realms.'
