Mojo Press is a now-defunct small press which primarily published science fiction, horror, and western books and graphic novels between 1994 and 1999. History Mojo Press was founded in 1994 by publisher Ben Ostrander and managing editor Richard Klaw ostensibly to publish the Joe R.

Bookstop (company)
Bookstop Inc. was a Texas-based chain of bookstores that was at one time the fourth-largest bookselling chain in the United States. In 1989 Barnes & Noble acquired the company, at which point it became a subsidiary of Barnes & Noble. The chain also did business under the name Bookstar due to trademark conflicts in other states. Business model Laura J. Miller, author of ''Reluctant Capitalists: Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption'', wrote that the chain "combined discounting with very wide selection, careful attention to display, and a reliance on sophisticated information systems in order to build a chain that would appeal to affluent, educated readers."Miller, Laura. ''Reluctant Capitalists: Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption''. University of Chicago Press, September 15, 2008. , 9780226525921. p50 Jason Epstein, author of ''Book Business: Publishing Past, Present, and Future'', described the chain as being modeled on the supermarket concept.
