VERSO, THE PREEMINENT RADICAL PRESS, LAUNCHES PUBLISHING'S MOST INNOVATIVE WEBSITE

--------------
40th anniversary celebrations begin for VERSO BOOKS this week with the unveiling of a new website-one that at long last brings the largest independent, radical publishing house firmly into the twenty-first century:

The largest independent, radical publishing house Verso Books is proud to announce the launch of its new website: http://www.versobooks.com/

The new site has a sleek and clean design and a fluid homepage that is constantly updated, beautifully showcasing Verso's books and authors.

It's also the new home for the Verso blog and now includes discussion forums where users can engage in debates about Verso's books.

There are pages devoted to each book and to each author. The blog is fully syndicated to both book and author pages-something never before done on a publisher's website.

As well as keeping readers updated on reviews, articles, interviews, radio and television appearances by our authors, the blog will announce details of upcoming events.

The site's launch is accompanied by a series of flash ads across outlets key to Verso's audience such as the NEW STATESMAN, the LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS, BOOKFORUM and the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS. The ads highlight 40th anniversary publications such as THE VERSO BOOK OF DISSENT and Tariq Ali's THE OBAMA SYNDROME.
