We dedicated ourselves to creating a systemic solution –one that would transform the educational environment for children in need and the educators who serve them. We built First Book using market-driven models powered by the collective strength of formal and informal educators serving children in need – in schools, libraries, museums, early childhood programs, homeless shelters, afterschool programs – anywhere that serves families in need. And while literacy remains a central focus, First Book’s mission has always been to further educational equity. In 2017, our 25th year, we realized a tipping point: First Book now reaches more than 1 out of 4 of the estimated 1.3 million classrooms and programs serving children in need. We leverage this market power to drive the publication of books, titles, and formats that are most relevant to the children we serve, and to identify and break down other long-standing educational barriers.

Arcadia Publishing will be distributing Quarto’s Voyageur Press and Cool Springs Press titles into specialty garden, home improvement and hardware accounts. “I’ve long admired Arcadia’s reach into local markets across the US. Arcadia Publishing has been the shining example of successful distribution into specialty markets. With thousands of active accounts, there is no town too small or too far that their team doesn’t reach,” explained Tara Catogge, VP Sales Director at Quarto Publishing Group USA. “We see a lot of growth opportunity by combining Arcadia’s exceptional field sales force and focused market strategy with Quarto’s expansive regional title list and bestselling garden and branded home- improvement titles.” “As part of our rapid expansion into specialty markets we were looking for a partner to help us reach those small and often remote retailers that are the core market for our garden and home- improvement lists,” said Ken Fund, President and CEO of Quarto Publishing Group, “and we found it in Arcadia. Their publishing and sales team is uniquely skilled at reaching and serving the needs of small business owners in micro markets. Their business model is about immediacy and the art of hand-selling which they do exceptionally well.” Richard Joseph, owner and CEO of Arcadia Publishing, commented, “Arcadia is committed to increasing the availability, depth and breadth of local books, and this distribution partnership with Quarto Publishing Group is a perfect fit with our publishing program.
