SIU Press grows into a major university publisher
The Southern Illinois University Press nears its 500th book with a 15 year growth arc from 5000 to 430000 dollars in sales. Vernon Sternberg notes the 1970 71 year may not reach half a million due to economic pressures but forecasts resilience. The operation ships 10000 to 15000 volumes monthly from a large campus warehouse and Amsterdam European outlet, with 487 titles published to date and about 60 titles per year.
