Re: good theravada publishers
Most of my Dhamma books are from BPS, Wisdom, or one of the free publishers. I'd say PTS is an important publisher, but it's a little expensive to have personal copies of all of their Tipitka and Commentary output...
So for me the three important publishers that sell stuff are PTS, BPS, and Wisdom.
Note that all of the them are non-profit.

Re: good theravada publishers
Greetings,
Not a publisher, but an organisation that sells a wide range of Theravada books... many not from the traditional publishers.

loud gush the streamlets,

Re: good theravada publishers
some of their stuff is available online for free (legally) so it would always be worth having a scout around.Ben wrote:Seconded!tiltbillings wrote:PARIYATTI PRESS

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
