Paladin Press has announced they’re shutting down operations as of 29 November 2017.
For many of us who date to the days before the internet, Paladin Press was the source of all sorts of arcana on gunsmithing, weapon use, military history, and living lives of action adventure, or perhaps merely pretending to do so. Revenge pranks, surveillance gadgets, lockpicking, Sykes-Fairbain knife fighting, new identities, and 10/22 Exotic Weapon Systems were all part of the lore.
The era of clipping an order form from a magazine ad and sending off your check or money order has passed but Paladin Press survived. It outlasted “Soldier of Fortune” magazine, who was a major advertising and marketing channel for their publications.
While business was probably not as brisk as it once was, we’d speculate that the passing of owner/founder Peder Lund in June 2017 probably had a lot to do with this business decision.
Currently, most of the books are 65 percent off, so if you want to score some great deals by the end of the month, order soon.
picked up two books I’d always wanted for years but never got around to buying. They had their quirks, but they will be missed, immediately after making my order I realized they are about a 10 minute walk from my front door.
