Applewood Books, an American Publisher, tells the authentic stories of people, places, ideas, and history. Our enduring work engages cultural travelers, enriches community, and informs future stewards. We celebrate our beginnings in 1973, when our founder Phil Zuckerman drove his ’53 Saab from Denver to Boston loaded up with a letterpress, an extra engine, and all his worldly possessions. After a few years learning hand bookbinding, paper making, and editing, Phil launched Applewood Press on July 4, 1976 as America celebrated its 200th anniversary of independence. We have since grown from these roots to publish a diverse range of quality and best-selling books—fiction and non-fiction, for adults and children—that inform, entertain, and delight cultural travelers. Our beloved customers have helped us build a unique and distinctive brand by suggesting and partnering with us.
