Norwood Press Announces Exclusive Publication of Limited Hardcover Editions by Bestselling Authors

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- “Many bestselling authors are rejecting legacy publishers by releasing their new titles as eBook offerings.  We have spoken to several of these authors, many we have known for years,” reported John Hutchinson of Norwood Press.  “We intend to meet the demand of our customers who still want signed books for their collections by producing specialty hardcovers of these new titles.  Additionally, we are considering publishing, in hardcover, early works which were produced originally as paperbacks by many of these same authors”.

“Our first release is Alan Jacobson’s fourth Karen Vail novel, INMATE 1577.  I just finished reading an advance copy of it, and was really impressed.  Alan’s exhaustive research helps him paint a landscape of detail that draws the reader right into each scene.  This is Karen Vail at her finest, as she returns to the Bay Area chasing a serial killer through the streets of San Francisco.  We are honored that Alan has trusted us with this book, and are sure it is the perfect title to launch our expansion of the Norwood Press name.”

Norwood Press is an imprint of VJ Books, a leading online retailer of collectible modern fiction.  For over ten years Norwood Press has had a close relationship with the Grandmaster of Adventure Writers Clive Cussler, and has an ongoing program to release finely bound signed limited editions of his new titles.  Working with Clive, and his co-authors Grant Blackwood, Graham Brown, Dirk Cussler, Jack DuBrul, Paul Kemprecos, and Justin Scott, Norwood Press now has over 25 titles now in print.  In 2011, after opening at #1 on the NY Times list, THE JUNGLE became available in Norwood Press editions.  Later this year editions of THE KINGDOM, THE RACE and DEVIL’S GATE are on the list of new Cussler limited edition titles.
