I have long admired Oxford University Press. Both in terms of the material it publishes and the way it combines excellence with commercial acievement, showing that good books can make money and so can academic books.

One of my former colleagues now works for them in Oxford and she confirms much of my suspicions about how good a company they are to work with.

The US division is quite distinct and operates an excellent blog here and should really be on everyone’s must read list if only for its breadth of subject matter and quality of writing and blogger.
