On Tuesday, April 17th of 2007, one thousand copies of the book "Ma Anche Prodi Usa Il Cucchiaino?" were thrown onto the sidewalks of Milan, Bologna, and Rome.
If you did not have the fortune of coming across this book on foot, you can download it by click the title, or, after your free login, from the section titled, "download," located in the menu on the left.
Bookpushing is a place dedicated for your writings: Your books in the drawer, poems, tales, romances, reviews, and essays. We want to give you an opportunity to share your work and give your writings a voice.
Naturally the copyright belong to only and exclusively to the author who has the opportunity to enclose the writing using "creative licence common", using the upload.
The first operation of Bookpushing was on Tuesday, March 7th 2006, with the book, "La Persona Che Trovò un Libro per Strada", (you can download it from the romance section). We filled the sidewalks of Italian cities with this book and we received around 6000 visits into our blog afterwards.
It was there that we understood that a new adventure was possible. Our dream is to see one book printed per year and marketed on all the sidewalks of Italy, and hopefully all of Europe with the help of Bookpushing. A book published "in paper and bone" according to the judgement of the community.
We would like to have sidewalks full of books that normally would never see light, where people walking the streets can choose their favorite titles between the hundreds available.
Today, many valid authors never see their work published because of the few people who decide what is or is not on a bookstore shelf.
We want to give people the freedom to express themselves. If you want to give a voice to your words, then this is the place. Let our writing be free and get them on the sidewalks!
