Our ambition is to create books that will emerge from the thousands of titles printed every years by small and medium italian publishing houses.
To achieve this, Kipple chooses the principle of total quality: quality of content, quality of graphic (often our books are illustrated also inside), quality of used materials (recycled papaer, energy saving processes, etc). The total quality principle requires more care where number of copies will not exceed one thousand.
Our main book series is AVATAR (created in 2005 from the Avatär fanzine) and it favours a visionary literature that finds its landmarks in William Burroughs mind, James Ballard inner space, Philip K. Dick visionary style, in cyberpunk and Futurism.

A series that presents a quality Science-Fiction, both italian and foreign, but also connections with other sensibilities of the fantastic and neo-noir genre, in a continuos research of renewal led by scientific discoveries and philosophical developements together with the urgent need of a ridefinition of humanity shapes.
