You Just Found an Amazing Printer with Book Smarts

Eighty years’ experience taught us a lot about the book market. One of the most important lessons was understanding that the market constantly changes. Adapt or perish. It’s simple and harsh. Responding to market dynamics helped make us North America’s third-largest book manufacturer. In short, gaining book smarts enabled us to better serve you, the publisher.

Rising to the Challenge

The past few years have been especially stressful for book publishers. Supply-chain issues. Changing demand. Paper Shortages.  Rising costs. Digital disruption. And increased competition, among others. More will emerge.

That’s why book publishers—including many middle-market publishers—trust Walsworth with their manufacturing needs. We serve publishers in a wide range of segments—adult and juvenile trade, el-hi and higher education, professional, scientific and technical, religious, coffee table, association and more.
