About Squash Publishing

Since 2003, Squash Publishing has been producing books keenly focused on the subjects of sleight-of-hand, history, gambling, and the variety arts.

Founded by Gabe Fajuri and headquartered in Chicago, the press has released a wide range of titles, from histories and biographies to now-standard how-to manuals. Works by Jay Sankey, Stewart James, David Ben, John Bannon, and Handsome Jack are among its best-sellers.

The company's books have been translated into Japanese, German, Spanish, Chinese, and French. Through this website, we also offer a select number of titles issued by fellow publishers, as well as titles with which we have assisted in the production or publication.

An Important Note About Shipping

Many domestic customers have written regarding the speed of media mail shipments (or lack thereof), and buggy/tracking issues with the US Mail service. International First Class parcels have also been reported as slow to arrive.

These issues are beyond our control, but not yours! As such, we strongly encourage UPS/courier shipping, or at the very least, Priority Mail shipping of your orders.
