This is Applewood’s first new catalog since 2023, and my first as publisher. I’m honored to steer Applewood’s continued exploration of the American experience, a journey that began fifty years ago. As we mark our fiftieth anniversary, we’re proud to join in the nation’s celebration of its 250th birthday. Some of our first best-selling titles, selections from the Books of American Wisdom series, introduced the vital importance of preserving our nation’s founding documents in editions made for every American. Today’s we’re excited to return to our roots and the roots of our shared American values by publishing officially licensed America250™️ editions of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Emancipation Proclamation and more.
We hope you’ll dig further into the foundational texts, writings, historic publications, and beloved classics of our diverse catalog as well. Applewood continues to expand our cherished Quotations of Great Americans series to new figures throughout the year, and our American Roots series remains a customer favorite and a wonderful way to experience lost treasures of American literature. As we look ahead to the next fifty years, or two hundred and fifty years, we are grateful for the readers and customers that have sustained us and kept the American story alive. Thanks for your support and let the celebrations begin!
