Greetings!
The University of Washington Press is pleased to offer our Fall/Winter 2010 digital, interactive seasonal announcement catalog. As with our previous digital catalogs, this 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 hope you will share your thoughts with us as we try to make the catalog as helpful as possible.
All the best,
Rachael Levay

About the University of Washington Press
The Press traces
its origins to 1915, when Edmond Meany's Governors of
Washington, Territorial and State was 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 50 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.
