Publishers

Little Black Cart
LBC
Little Black Cart is an anarchist publishing and distribution project that strives to reject ideology in favor of critical thinking. The literature they produce and share is a unique and diverse suite of critical, cutting-edge anarchist thought that unflinchingly recognizes past failures and makes myriad attempts to understand what steps can be taken next. From their website:

Little Black Cart is a group of anarchists who have known each other for years, a few of us for decades. We share a desire to totally transform society. We want to live without the state, without class, with mutual reciprocity, voluntary cooperation, and the liberation of desire. We call this way of living anarchy – or as Emma Goldman knew it, the Beautiful Idea.

We create contexts that encourage critical, imaginative, creative thinking and acting about the problems that face us. We help create these contexts by supplying building blocks in the form (usually) of books and pamphlets, texts to inspire disagreement and passion, ideas for people to argue, collaborate, and conspire with, environments (events and spaces) to do it in.

CrimethInc.
CrimethInc
Also known as the CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective, CrimethInc. is a decentralized group of autonomous cells that, among many other things, produce various forms of media including books, articles, videos, music, posters, stickers, a journal, and a podcast. If you are new to anarchist thought, CrimethInc.’s accessible, relevant, and impassioned publications may be a good place to start. From their website:

Here, the secret worlds of shoplifters, rioters, dropouts, deserters, adulterers, vandals, daydreamers—that is to say, of all of us, in those moments when, wanting more, we indulge in little revolts—converge to form gateways to new worlds where theft, cheating, warfare, boredom, and so on are simply obsolete.

AK Press
AKPress
AK Press is likely the largest and most widely known anarchist publisher/distributer out there. They publish mostly historical studies and contemporary social movement lit., and the anarchist materials they publish tend to be more traditionally oriented. From their website:

Our goal is supplying radical words and images to as many people as possible. The books and other media we distribute are published by independent presses, not the corporate giants. We make them widely available to help you make positive (or, hell, revolutionary) changes in the world.

Autonomedia

Autonomedia is one of the premier publishers of anarchist and similar radical material in North America. Until 2001 they were affiliated with Semiotext(e), an influential publishing group that are largely responsible for injecting French radical thought into the North American mileu. Autonomedia now largely focuses on art theory and anarchist, autonomist marxist, feminist, and queer texts. They are also well known for their badass Autonomedia Calendar of Jubilee Saints, where they treat each and every day of the year as a holiday in celebration of a different rad person from history.
