| − | NESFA Press is the publishing pseudopod of [[NESFA]]. It published annual [[GoH]] books in conjunction with [[Boskone]], a series of NESFA's Choice books bringing back into print the works of deserving classic [[SF writers]], and reference books of [[science fiction]] and [[science fiction fandom]].

| − | It was founded in the early 70s when [[Bill Desmond]] (with assistance from [[Robert Weiner]] and [[Donald M. Grant]]) produced the first [[Boskone Book]]. At about the same time, [[Tony Lewis]] started the [[NESFA Index]], a continuation of the [[MITSFS Index]]. For many years, these were the nearly exclusive focus of NESFA Press.

| − | By the late 70s, NESFA Press had become moribund -- the [[NESFA Index]] was no longer being published and a combination of limited interest on the part of both [[NESFA]] and a series of [[Boskone]] [[GoHs]], led to the [[Boskone Book]] going into hiatus. NESFA Press was revived by [[Chip Hitchcock]] (nearly singlehandedly) producing a [[Boskone Book]] for [[Boskone 18]] in 1981 (Un''silent Night'' by [[Tanith Lee]]).

| − | In the early 90s, [[Mark Olson]] pioneered the [[NESFA's Choice]] series of books, bringing back into print classic [[sf]] in quality hardbacks. This series eventually extended to over 25 volumes.

| − | NESFA Press was given a [[Special Committee Award]] at [[Denvention 3]] in 2008, but by around 2010, the club had lost interest in publishing and the press's output had declined to about a book a year. | |
