Seed Center Books

Seed Center Books was created in 2011 by film designer Sylvain Despretz in an effort to restore and preserve the manuscripts of American writer and poet Thaddeus Golas, author of The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment. “Seed Center” was the name originally assigned to the space created in the backroom of the Plowshare Bookstore (then a new center of counterculture in the Bay Area), in downtown Palo Alto California, when, in 1972, owners DeRay and Susan Norton agreed to publish and stock Thaddeus Golas’ now famous little handbook on human consciousness,The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment. In addition to older texts, Seed Center Books has published four volumes by author Thaddeus Golas, including "Love and Pain", the new revolutionary metaphysical manual by the famed author, and The Lazy Man's Life - the Golas autobiography. All volumes are available from our website as well as Amazon.com and fine bookstores on the West Coast.
