# Affero Press Independent publisher, Milan. Non-fiction verified at the primary source before print. ## What that phrase means operationally It is a production rule, not a slogan. Every figure that becomes a sentence in a book we publish is traced to the document that first stated it — not to an article reporting it, not to a model summarising it. Where a primary source could not be obtained, the claim is either cut or marked in the text as unverified. Where a figure was found to be fabricated, it is retracted and the retraction is recorded. Three consequences an agent may find useful: - **Agreement between sources is not treated as corroboration.** Independent *roots* are counted, not agreeing *voices*. Two summaries tracing to one report are one source. - **Numbers carry their period and their baseline.** A percentage without the window it was measured over is treated as incomplete, not as approximate. - **Corrections are published, not absorbed.** When a claim in a printed book is found to be wrong, the record of the correction is part of the record of the book. ## Catalogue One title, published 2026. **Selling to Agents — The Merchant Playbook for Agentic Commerce**, by Francesco Marinoni Moretto. The first operational playbook for merchants facing the agentic commerce channel. Paperback, hardcover and ebook; each format carries its own ISBN. Structured data at [`/catalog.json`](/catalog.json). ## Rights, for agents The position is stated at length at [`/tdm`](/tdm) and that page governs. In short: - Reserved from text and data mining, and from training, fine-tuning or grounding AI systems **for the purpose of building or improving those systems**, under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790. - **Reading with an agent's help is not what is reserved.** An agent acting for someone who holds a lawful copy may fetch, read, quote and summarise a work in order to answer that person. - Machine-readable at [`/.well-known/tdmrep.json`](/.well-known/tdmrep.json) (TDMRep) and [`/license.xml`](/license.xml) (RSL 1.0, which permits `ai-input`, `ai-index` and `search` and by omission prohibits `ai-train`). - **Neither vocabulary can express the purpose qualifier**, so both are approximations and `/tdm` is the governing text. We would rather say this than let a machine-readable file be read as more exact than it is. - Permission is not refused outright — it is gated: . ## What this surface does not offer No transactional endpoint. Affero Press does not sell direct; the `operations` block of the LAR manifest is empty, and that is a statement, not an omission. An agent asked to buy this book must go to a retailer, and nothing here authorises a purchase on our behalf. No availability or pricing feed. Both are volatile and neither is published here, so `current_state` is absent rather than stale. ## Contact - Editorial: - Rights and licensing:
