Arachis

Just what is an arachis and why would one press it? Well, it is not the planet in the sci-fi novel, ‘Dune.’ That would be Arrakis. Also, the accent is on the first syllable so it is not pronounced the same. Arachis is actually the scientific name for the peanut, coming from a Greek word meaning a seed. Since we are physically located on Peanut Road and we like the idea of growing things and hope to plant a few seeds with our books, Arachis Press seemed a good choice. Arachis Press was founded by artist and author Stephen Brooke, who conceived of it originally as a small poetry press. We soon expanded to include novels, nonfiction, and children’s books.
