Sierra Club Books
Sierra Club Books is the publishing division of the Sierra Club, founded in 1960 by then Sierra Club President David Brower. Volumes intended for club members had been published prior to 1960. In addition, books under their name had been published before 1960, but done through already established publishers, as was the case with ''This Is Dinosaur'', published by Alfred A. Knopf. Their first in-house book, volume 1 in the Exhibit Format series, was ''This is the American Earth'', published in 1960.〔()〕 In 1962, they introduced color photography to the series with the publication of ''In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World'' with photographs by Eliot Porter and ''Island In Time: The Point Reyes Peninsula'' with photographs by Philip Hyde. The series won the 1964 Carey-Thomas Award for creative publishing, by Publishers Weekly. Fifty thousand copies were sold in the first four years, and by 1964 sales exceeded $10 million. Soon they were publishing two new titles a year in the Exhibit Format series, but not all did as well as ''In Wildness''. The books were successful in introducing the public to wilderness preservation and the Sierra Club,〔()〕 but lost money for the organization, some $60,000 a year after 1964. Paperback reprints of many of the Exhibit Format books were published by Ballantine Books. Other books published by Sierra Club Books include various field guides, and books on environmental activism, such as the Sierra Club Battlebooks. They publish the ''Sierra Club Wilderness Calendar'' and the ''Sierra Club Engagement Calendar'' annually, which are perennial bestsellers. They are distributed to the book trade by Publishers Group West.
