Our goal is to publish affordable and powerful urban ebooks - that is, ebooks that empower African Americans, other minorities, and women of all ethnicities. Our publications are not available in print, but are exclusively available as ebooks (or electronic books) for $4.99 or less and can easily be purchased and INSTANTLY downloaded to your computer, smartphone or tablet.
The term "urban ebooks" means different things to different people, and it is actually one of the fastest growing categories in the publishing industry. However, our urban ebooks are a bit different; They are 100% educational and empowering. We have decided to only create and publish books that are useful resources to our readers. We do not publish any urban fiction or street fiction titles!

Fun fact boxes and amusing illustrations help explore common beliefs--can people get sucked out of an airplane bathroom\'s toilet? Do human fingernails keep growing after a person dies? The only way to find the truth is to keep turning the page!
