African Belief is a free, plainly written guide to the creation stories, deities, ancestors and rites of African belief systems. Its house rule is to name the people — 'among the Akan of Ghana', never 'Africans believe' — and it gives a rite's meaning without ever printing its manual.

Stripe Press
GreenlitStripe Press publishes books about technological progress — reissued classics and new works the payments company thinks the industry should read. The catalog is presented as a physical shelf: real-time 3D volumes you spin, open and leaf through in the browser.
The Creative Independent publishes interviews and practical wisdom from working artists — musicians, writers, filmmakers — on how they sustain a practice. It is run as an ad-free resource by Kickstarter, which is why nothing on it is trying to sell anything.
