What Special Information do you need to know about Harvard University Press?

The press at one time used to sell its publications at its bookstore: the display room. This store was located in Harvard square. Unfortunately it closed down in June this year due to unknown reasons. It is currently under William P. Sisler, the director and Michael G. Fisher, the editor-in-chief.

On the other hand, the press has sustained its offices in London England as well as Cambridge Massachusetts near Harvard square. The press does not rely on publication funds from the university but rather from endorsements.
