The Ideal Press is a small publishing & research practice based in London with a focus on contemporary issues within philosophy, politics and the arts. It is committed to creating spaces for previously unpublished writers and artists who seek to generate new concepts, challenge existing creative practices and attempt to diagnose an increasingly Real 21st Century.
The name for the ‘The Ideal Press’ comes from a text written by William Morris entitled ‘The Ideal Book’ in which he writes: “The fact is, a small book seldom does lie quiet, and you have either to cramp your hand by holding it, or else to put it on the table with a paraphernalia of matters to keep it down, a table-spoon on one side, a knife on another, and so on, which things always tumble off at a critical moment, and fidget you out of the repose which is absolutely necessary to reading.”
