Quayside Terms, Conditions & Policies | Directions to Offices
Quayside (pronounced key•side) Publishing Group represents a dynamic group of imprints dedicated to providing quality and excellence to its readers. Each imprint embodies the breadth and scope of its specialty topics. Quayside encompasses Rockport Publishers, Fair Winds Press, Quarry Books, RotoVision, Apple Press and the newly acquired Creative Publishing international.
Rockport Publishers was founded in 1984, and soon established itself as an esteemed publisher of high quality graphic design and craft books. Rockport’s illustrated source books for professional designers and artisans present the best design work from around the world.
In 2001 Rockport Publishers launched Fair Winds Press to focus on a wide range of mind, body and spirit topics that excite readers and help them answer life’s fundamental questions.
Quarry Books, launched in 2003, provides practical general reference in categories such as crafts, home style, pet care, and personal improvement.
UK based RotoVision is recognized worldwide as the publisher of excellence in the visual arts. Graphic design, photography, the arts and crafts of stage and screen, all types of architectural, interior, environmental, and three-dimensional design; these are RotoVision’s passions.
Apple Press is the European counterpart to the Rockport Publishers program, offering a wide selection of lifestyle titles.
In July 2004, Rockport Publishers once again expanded its horizons by acquiring Creative Publishing international. CPi specializes in visually stunning books for a hands on world. They are a worldwide leader of how-to-books on topics including home improvement, home decorating, sewing and crafting, and outdoors. Over the past 15 years, CPi has developed high-quality photography step-by-step books branded with nationally recognized names like Black & Decker and Singer.
This strategic purchase helped strengthen and consolidate the entire group’s sales and marketing functions. It has also enabled the group to strike out as its own distributor.
In the spirit of independent enterprise, the new name incorporates
and simplifies the functions of the group’s oldest and newest
members as it moves forward into a promising future. The Quayside Publishing
Group is lead by Ken Fund, President and CEO and is a subsidiary of
the London based Quarto Group, Inc.
