Thought this was going to be about Piers Anthony.

I bought e-copies of one of my favorite young adult series from them (Mancer by Don Callander -also still available from amazon) but they really didn't seem to advertise themselves the way most minor booksellers do.

This was in fact a publishing house that Piers Anthony was involved with -- I'm not sure if he started it but he invested in it, and they republished a number of his early books. (I know this because Mundania acquired my publisher, Hard Shell Word Factory, about 10 years ago, so this closure affected one of my books. I just found out about it today when I noticed the book was no longer available except from a third-party seller on Amazon, for $2,600[!]. Believe me when I say the book is not worth that much.)
If anyone is interested, Piers Anthony has a little statement about Mundania's closure on his web site: http://www.hipiers.com/publishing.html#M1 |

They published Louise Cooper's Time's Master and Chaos Gate Trilogies of which only the third book of the Time's Master series is currently on Amazon (don't ask me why only the 3rd book of the series and not the first two). Those are very good fantasy novels and it's a real pity they got stranded with such a small publisher that no one knew about to buy from. Maybe now they'll get republished or end up on Amazon.

I haven't heard of them, but sad to see another publisher close its doors. Thanks for letting us know.
