We announced some time ago that we would be bringing some of our most recent titles available in digital format to the Apple iBookstore.

Now, we’re making it official: we’ve self-published six of our most recent and best-selling titles to the iBookstore, including the brand new book from John Amato and David Neiwert, Over the Cliff. The full press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

POLIPOINT TITLES NOW AVAILABLE ON IBOOKSTORE

Sausalito, CA—Effective immediately, PoliPointPress, an independent publisher in Sausalito, CA, will offer six of its most recent titles on Apple’s iBookstore, accessible from the Apple iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The titles currently available on the iBookstore are Over the Cliff by John Amato and David Neiwert, The Evolution of Everything by Mark Sumner, Best Care Anywhere, Second Edition by Phillip Longman, Sick and Tired by Helene Jorgensen, False Profits by Dean Baker, and Rules of Disengagement by Marjorie Cohn and Kathleen Gilberd.

The six titles published to the iBookstore represent a cross-section of the major issues facing the country to date. Rules of Disengagement examines, through the eyes of two nationally-recognized experts of law, the long history of dissent by active military service members, as well as efforts by current service members to argue in court against the unlawfulness of the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Dean Baker, co-founder and Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), reveals in False Profits the efforts of top economic policymakers to re-write the immediate aftermath of the burst bubble of 2008-2009. Economist Helene Jorgensen sheds light on the deadly shortcomings and flaws of the American healthcare system by recounting her struggle with Lyme disease in Sick and Tired, while Phillip Longman, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, provides a model for healthcare reform by calling for a civilian version of VA healthcare in the updated second edition of his best-selling Best Care Anywhere. Long-time DailyKos contributing editor Mark Sumner offers an enlightening look at how Darwin’s ideas about evolution and selection influence a wide variety of phenomena in our daily lives in The Evolution of Everything. Finally, the just-released Over the Cliff by award-winning journalists John Amato and David Neiwert documents the increasingly extreme rhetoric of the American right in the second year of the Obama administration.

Recognizing the importance of digital offerings in the publishing industry and their growth potential, John McAlester, P3’s Digital Content Manager says, “Distributing to the iBookstore makes our books more widely available to consumers who can now take advantage of PoliPoint’s eBook features on an advanced e-reader.”
