Paradox Publishing
Xpo Press was formerly called Paradox Publishing, LLC, incorporated in Colorado in 1993. Originally, Paradox published a literature and arts quarterly called Inklings. The first issue was published with a circulation of 5,000 in March 1994, increasing to 10,000 by 1995 and published quarterly through 1998. It was funded by advertising sales revenues, as were all of the publications published by Paradox and now by Xpo Press.
Paradox published the "Official Event Program" for several sizeable trade shows and expos. These Programs became the inspiration and area of specialization for our new company, Xpo Press.
