"We are here and it is now. Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine." (H. L. Mencken)


The PSR Previews


Listed below is a random selection of titles and volumes. For additional content, see our Back Issues page. Or use the Google Books search engine for earlier issues. All forthcoming PSR Monograph Series volumes are transiting for preview on our own platform.

PSR volumes up to 13 February 2016 will remain available for preview (20% of content, random span) at Google Books, at the sole discretion of Google. Starting with PSR 22 (2), previews have been transitioned to the PSR platform.

The balance of the New Series will be on preview. The Old Series is scanned. It will be available to LSA Members. Forthcoming volumes will be posted for preview at the same time as they appear in print, but they will not be delivered to Google (neither will scanned volumes of the Old Series). Our contributing authors have our full agreement to post their preprints and PSR publisher's proofs on Academia.edu or on Archive.org, at will.

New PSR material may eventually appear at Google Books as a result of the scanning process run by libraries and by Google under the fair use clause, but we are no longer partnered into that, we have zero interest in it -- not under the current so-called 'terms of service', and we have no influence over timing or progress. Please note that the partnering relationship between Google Books on the one hand and the PSR (Baywolf Press / Éditions Baywolf) on the other hand was effectively ended in 2014 and officially terminated as of 12:00 PM (midnight), 13 February 2016. This was a choice implemented by the PSR (Baywolf Press / Éditions Baywolf). Our attitude to Google is purely situational. "Nem carne, nem peixe". In vernacular medieval Italian "Chi se ne frega -- lo diceva anche il mago alla strega". We welcome Google so long as it serves as a universal and impartial data repository, we stand against it whenever it acts as a predatory corporation and -- even worse -- a censorious arbiter seeking to impose a specific worldview or ideology, to the total exclusion of all else.

The Google Books preview links on our site (or on saved copies of our site on your system) may continue to operate, but our Google account is no longer accessed nor maintained, and we shall take no steps toward maintaining it. We have neither obligation, nor incentive. $ 0.00. Compulsion index: 0.00. We have opted straight out of the "this is your space -- please help us improve it" (while THEY make gazillions off the back of those who 'work' and 'participate' for free while a cobweb grows over their 'you know what'). We are not owned (in the pejorative sense -- like neo-feudal digital serfs) by any trillion-dollar global managerialist globalist corporativist censorship consortium. Yes, we realize that authoritarians simply cannot stand the idea that people could just walk away and stop playing the mandatory Narrative Game. They better keep in mind, however, that in fact the Roman Empire, and many other such constructs collapsed exactly THAT way. Not of because of 'Barbarian invasions', really, but because people just walked away from The Narrative. "Chi se ne frega -- lo diceva anche il mago alla strega". One haunting image in a very tiny museum tells it all -- the imperial Silver Hoard of Augusta Raurica (Switzerland). No one ever came back to claim the buried bounty -- even digging it up was not worth it any more. And very clearly there were not enough neck-guard Roman-legion-style-helmeted police 'enforcers' left to compel anyone to do the digging. "Walk away, laddies, walk away ...".
