Based in southern California, the Smileys published 42 well-received issues of Firsts before moving to Tucson. Since then, they've published 56 more. There have been other magazines for collectors, but they were scholarly and dry. They weren't any fun and didn't last. We infuse some joy into what could otherwise be a dull subject.
Books are a fusion of the intellectual and the artistic.
They can be appreciated for their literary content and as objects, as works of art themselves. They are supported by an Editorial Advisory Board of booksellers and other experts from around the country. And, of course, to subscribers. Our subscribers are very loyal. We have a subscription renewal rate of more than 80 percent, which is unheard of in this business.
