PRESS KIT for New York Saturday Press
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Take a time trip with me!
The long-lost voice of Bohemian New York returns in a groundbreaking new edition!
The New York Saturday Press (NYSP) — America’s first Bohemian arts and literary journal — returns to print for the first time in over 160 years. This remarkable publication, founded by a visionary circle of New Yorkers in the years surrounding the Civil War, offers a vivid portrait of 19th-century cultural life.
Bronx-based Funsub Books is proud to present
The New York Saturday Press, Omnibus Edition.
Here, we offer a treasure trove of early American literary and artistic ambition, including rare early works by both Walt Whitman and Mark Twain, bold and humorous theatre reviews, lively cultural commentary, and incisive literary criticism — capturing the restless spirit of antebellum New York City and its creative underground. The book is richly illustrated and features extensive contextual material, written by the editor, to help modern readers navigate the names, places, references, and cultural idioms of the period.
This Omnibus Edition distills the journal’s finest writing into a single, accessible book.
Whether as a gift for the literary-minded or a portal into America’s artistic awakening, The New York Saturday Press is a time-traveling journey into the heart of a forgotten New York City.
The book is set for launch date: Oct. 14, 2025. It is NOW active for pre-order on Amazon and bookselling platforms around the world, and is available for wholesale purchase on IngramSpark.
