When a Northwest writer requires
a publisher for his book, his
thoughts usually turn to the East
Coast, and especially New York,
where the bulk of the publishing is
done. Yet the West Coast has a
furnishing book publishing BUSH
ness, which is growing rather than
diminishing, which is diversified e
nough to handle any kind of book,
and which is in the long run espe-
cially interested in the work of its
native writers.
Some of these Western publish
ers are specialists: Aero in Los An
geles does technical books on avia-
ton; Bancroft whitney in San
Francisco publishes law books,
Banner deals only in plays. There
is at least one science and fantasy
fiction publisher (Fantasy, Los An
geles), and several specializing in
cookbooks, textbooks, or garden
books; while the Perkins in South
Pasadena handle books on the Near,
Middle and Far East, and the Paci-
fic islands.
Then there are others that pu-
blish in considerable variety but
seem to be primarily interested in
regional studies: the biographies
"reminiscences, and histories which
can be fitted into the heading some
what clumsily referred to as "au-
thentic Western Americans, fol
which there is a steady local de-
mand without the necessity Of
spending great sums on advertising
A few of these houses also take or
an occasional novel or volume Of
verse.
Among the most active of this
group at the present time are Paci-
fic Books (Palo Alto), Binfords &
Mort tPortland), Caxton caldwell
