From its inception in 1989, Triumph Books has built and sustained a solid reputation for quality and innovation in sports publishing. In April 2001 Triumph Books Dale Earnhardt: Remembering the Intimidator hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list for paperback nonfiction, and it remained on the list for 13 weeks. This success and many others have solidified Triumph's reputation and allowed the company access to celebrity athletes. Noted sports figures who have chosen to publish their books with Triumph include Dan Marino, Jerome Bettis, Dwight Howard, Curtis Granderson, Brett Favre, Mario Lemieux, Javy Lopez, and many others. Such relationships have helped to make Triumph the trusted leader in sports publishing. In addition to working with some of the most celebrated coaches and athletes in the world, Triumph Books, as publisher of the leagues, has also published oral and team histories, pictorials, and rule books for every major sports league over the years, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, USGA, USTA, the PGA Tour, and the U.S. Soccer Federation. Triumph Books' dedicated editorial staff also allow the company to publish instant titles books written, designed, printed, and shelved in stores often within a week of an event with the accuracy, timeliness, and style that few publishers can match. Located in the Chicago's River North neighborhood, Triumph Books is now distributed by IPG (www.ipgbook.com).
