Manifesto

 We do not accept a world where photo books are only for the well-off.*
At Yellow Stairs Publishing, our goal is to make stories accessible. 


We thrive to
 
 • bring you genuine personal stories that you are unlikely to see anywhere else 

• create a beautiful, playfully experimental approach to book-making 

• do our utmost to make our creations as sustainable as possible 

• make all our publications freely available as an ebook (a freEbook?)

*Pricing

The idea is to create photo books that are affordable. Unfortunately, small-scale, sustainable publishing makes this a somewhat complex challenge.

The minimum of the pay-what-you can price covers printing costs and VAT (currently 9% in the Netherlands). In case you can afford more, please consider paying a higher price, or opt for a donation (VAT-free).

For those who are satisfied with the on-screen-experience, all our publications are available as ebooks for as much (or as little) as one wishes to contribute.

Thank you!
