We're a Midwest-based publisher that has been publishing affordable textbooks for select courses since 2004. We specialize in acquiring the rights to under-served textbooks from the big publishers and revising them for our textbook media model. That means a quality textbook from proven authors—a textbook that was developed by the big publishers via peer reviews, and includes ancillaries, but is offered to the market at a fraction of the price.
