Gibbs Smith is a Utah-based publishing house founded in 1969 by Gibbs M. Smith and his wife Catherine.〔〔〔 Its offerings include social studies textbooks and digital materials for schools, special interest publishing, and cookbooks. ==History== The company began its existence in a one-room sculptor's studio in Santa Barbara, California.〔 Founder Gibbs M. Smith used $12,000 earned from working on the film version of his master's dissertation on labor activist Joe Hill to finance his publishing venture, after receiving words of encouragement from publisher Alfred A. Knopf, Sr.〔 By 1973, the company had moved to a barn built in 1916 in East Layton, Utah.〔〔 When operations first began in the barn, company personnel only had access to the top portion of the barn, while the bottom of the barn hosted cows and chickens.〔 The company was originally known as Peregrine Smith, before folding that name into one of its imprints and catalog lines.〔〔〔〔 The company first entered educational publishing in 1973 with its textbook ''Utah's Heritage'' and its educational publishing efforts provided financial stability during its early years.〔 By the late 1990s, 30 percent of its revenue came from publishing textbooks.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gibbs Smith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
