THE ROYAL NONESUCH PRESS

Ed Searl established The Royal Nonesuch Press in 1978 to print a chapbook collection of poetic meditations he wrote as minister of the First Unitarian Church of Youngstown, Ohio. Similar collections followed, as he transitioned in 1983 from Youngstown to Hinsdale, Illinois.

The Royal Nonesuch moniker references Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, specifically the theatrical ruse of the Duke and the King.

In recent years, the RNP imprint has published Searl’s books through the on demand resources of Create Space and LuLu.

These works are available as soft cover books, downloads, and e-books.
