"I started HPM (Henry Paul Matthews) Publications in late 1994 with the objective of preserving in book form the detailed history of experimental aircraft (or X-planes) and test pilots. So far I have published more than 25 books. All but one are the FIRST and so far ONLY books about their respective subjects. They fill a gap in the aviation history library and will remain useful historical reference works for generations to come. I print only small runs, sometimes as few as 150 copies. This makes for an above-average cost per copy and leaves no possibility of profit. Anyway profit is not my objective. Most publishers and authors focus on titles that have big sales potential, ignoring the obscure one-of-a-kind X-planes with poor market potential and limited readership. Sadly, this leaves many fascinating projects and individuals in the dark, their history fading with time. " (from Henry Matthews) .
