Amok Books is an American publishing house. Amok means "to go mad with rage" (uncontrollable rage).
Stuart Swezey is the publisher of Amok Books and co-editor of the highly acclaimed Amok Fourth Dispatch sourcebook of the extremes of information in print.
- "Long before you could seek out the fate of the foreskin or search through an Internet database on crime, Stuart Swezey's Amok Books was the source of anomalous data in America. The first Amok Dispatch, a newsprint catalog listing 300 titles on everything from conspiracy theory to Dada classics, was a loud and obnoxious monster truck on the information frontage road of 1986." --Patrick Hughes via gettingit.com
