Effective June 1, the Creative Company will expand distribution of children's book publishers Amicus Publishing and Black Rabbit Books. The Creative Company currently provides fulfillment services for all three publishers, but will now add sales, marketing, customer service, and accounts receivables services. All products may now be combined on one purchase order and purchased directly from The Creative Company.
The Creative Company was founded in 1932 and has more than 1,500 titles in its library catalog. The Creative Company also publishes picture books and board books for the retail market as part of its Creative Editions program, which is distributed by Chronicle Books.
Amicus Publishing was founded in 2010 and offers more than 650 titles in its library catalog. Amicus also publishes picture books and board books in its Amicus Ink imprint. Earlier this year, Amicus acquired Bookstaves, which is best known for its 12-Story Library imprint, and paperback publisher RiverStream.
Founded in 2006, Black Rabbit Books publishes more than 400 titles in its proprietary imprints and distributes more than 400 titles for Brown Bear Books and Book House.
