The Theory of Evolution

Welcome to the Evolution Publishing homepage. We are a small press founded in 1994 and based in Merchantville, NJ. Nearby, William Penn signed his famous treaty with Tamanend of the Lenape, General George Washington made his daring Christmas Eve crossing of the Delaware, and just across the river in Philadelphia, a young Benjamin Franklin published his Pennsylvania Gazette and Poor Richard's Almanac. We are proud to be part of the American publishing heritage, and feel honored to share this heritage with our neighbors around the country and the world.

The old school of bookbinding is alive and well at Evolution Publishing. Using a combination of ultra-modern and traditional bookbinding techniques, we are able to offer high-quality specialty volumes at reasonable prices. We believe that books are not ephemera: they should be designed to last. Our primary source books are manufactured to be a durable fixture of library and private collections for time periods measured in decades, not years.

In addition to a list of our products, our webpage contains free internet resources for Italic and American language studies. We intend to maintain these pages as an on-line research station, with basic background information on the fields in which we publish. Should you find yourself needing to know more, we have a growing catalog of products to satisfy your curiosity. And if we don't publish what you're looking for, you can probably find it in our on-line bookstore which contains lists of highly useful books for researchers in Italic and American language studies.
