Greetings!
The University of Washington Press is pleased to offer a new digital, interactive seasonal announcement catalog. This new catalog is not a pdf and it does not require any additional software to download or use, but it does help us reduce our carbon footprint by using less paper to introduce our new lists of books.
We are very excited to provide you with a new way to learn about our books, and we hope you will share your thoughts with us as we try to make the catalog as helpful as possible.
All the best,
Rachael Levay

Same wonderful books, but a
great new way to learn about them
Our new digital, interactive
catalog allows users to view the most up-to-date information about our new and forthcoming titles on quick-loading pages. In addition to serving the University of Washington's green initiative by greatly
reducing our paper output and our carbon footprint, the digital catalog
replicates the experience of a traditional, print catalog while adding the benefits of working online:
-
Users
can either view
the catalog online or
save it to
their own computer
for offline use, making it possible to have their own personal interactive
catalog
- Paste
digital notes to any page
-
Send
links of
either a single page, select pages, or the whole catalog to colleagues, customers, and friends
- Click
on the title on any book page to link directly to our website, making it easier to
order or contact Press staff
- All sales representatives' e-mail addresses are hyperlinked, making it easier for retail customers to place orders
Available on our
website, or by clicking here, our digital catalog will prove useful to retail customers, sales reps, librarians, media, general readers, and members of the academic community.

About the University of Washington Press
The Press traces
its origins to 1915, when Edmond Meany's Governors of
Washington, Territorial and Statewas issued. The first book to bear the University
of Washington Press imprint, an edition of The Poems of Henry
Howard, Earl of Surrey
edited by Frederick M. Padelford, appeared in 1920. Since that time the Press
has published approximately 4,400 books, of which about 1,400 are currently in
print. Today we publish about seventy new titles each year.
From the
beginning the Press has reflected the University's major academic strengths.
Building on those strengths, combined with a vigorous creativity in developing
regional partners, the University of Washington Press has achieved recognition
as the leading publisher of scholarly books and distinguished works of regional
nonfiction in the Pacific Northwest.
