No matter how much I know (think I know?) about a genre, I have always found previously unknown gems. They put out a 5 volume set of Early American writing that is amazing! I believe that the desire to publish the unique would extend to every facet of the biz.dizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251459349243682176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-86495325390158583602011-06-01T14:04:50.010-04:002011-06-01T14:04:50.010-04:00Unbridled Books has been my favorite discovery of ...Unbridled Books has been my favorite discovery of 2011. I like Harper and Random a lot too, but like you said, I usually have to do a little research first.<br /><br />I haven't checked out Norton yet, but I'll do so right away!

I wouldn't say there's any one publisher I will always read but there are a few brands that mean more to me than others, mostly due to their approach to publishing.Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-73051403039882855092011-05-27T19:36:17.142-04:002011-05-27T19:36:17.142-04:00Excellent parallels that you draw here.

But I will say that the Amy Einhorn imprint has impressed me lately. I do have more loyalty to TV stations - probably because I have spent so much time with them! I agree with you on AMC - Breaking Bad is tremendous. And I have gone away from HBO over to Showtime now for their original series.

I think it helps that I met their publicists last year at BEA and they were really good at taking notes of the kind of books I love.

...I love your analogy to TV/movie studios! So true.<br /><br />I've definitely started looking more at imprints over the past year. Of the bigger publishers, I've had lots of luck with Riverhead.<br /><br />I only recently discovered Other Press (when I read Galore), but when I looked at their catalog I fell in love. I fully intend to read more of their books in the future.Melissahttp://feministtexicanreads.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-43195725574051558272011-05-26T13:58:52.820-04:002011-05-26T13:58:52.820-04:00Fabu post -- I'm going to have to check the im...Fabu post -- I'm going to have to check the imprints/publishers of my favorite books.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-77027597531604859032011-05-26T13:52:08.425-04:002011-05-26T13:52:08.425-04:00Very interesting!

Honestly I've never paid attention to publishing houses but your analogy to production studios and TV networks is a great one (I also love Miramax as well as Focus). I'll definitely be paying more attention!<br /><br />Still not sure I understand what an imprint is. Off to figure that out!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-54255704669306300022011-05-26T13:19:17.181-04:002011-05-26T13:19:17.181-04:00I don't, but now I think I should.

So why am I not paying attention to publishers?

I am anxious to read a new one of theirs, Anne Enright's The Forgotten Waltz.<br /><br />Like you, there are some imprints that are pretty uniformly winners for me -- I like Henry Holt's non-fiction, and alot of FSG. By the same token, there are some imprints, that I just know if the book is theirs, it's probably not for me, but that has more to do with genre I think if that makes any sense.TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.com
