About C&C
Colombo & Company is the personal and professional publishing imprint of author and anthologist John Robert Colombo.
C&C was founded by Ruth and John Robert Colombo in Toronto in 1992 as an independent publishing house to issue and to reprint JRC’s own books and books by colleagues. There are now some eighty titles in print, in the main volumes of poetry, aphorisms, Canadiana, and records of anomalous experiences.
There are more than eighty books in print – some brand-new titles, some reprinted titles. The early books were issued in the QuasiBook Edition format (cerlox-bound, instant-printed pages). Current books are being issued in trade paperback editions (usually print-on-demand).
Sales are through special orders from better bookstores or direct from the publishing house. Order information appears elsewhere.
