Yes, Palgrave does participate (I'm not sure that that is the correct word) in O.A. (Open Access).

I rarely point out individual O.A. publishers anymore, because so many publishers are into it now. What I need to find is a master list of O.A. publishers. In fact, I think that I have one listed under some bookmark somewhere. I'll look for it. I'm still looking for a real good search engine for O.A. books. The ones that I have found are inadequate.

Anyone can see the benefit of O.A. to book readers, but I'm still fuzzy about what benefit it is to the authors. If I'm not mistaken, it is they who have to pony up the money to publish the books, and then they get zero in monetary returns.
