Looking at the big picture...Arizona Style!









Some might say that the LJW Publishing list of upcoming titles is an eclectic mix, others might say that the selection seems random, still others might say that they're not sure of the connection, but today you'll find out what the common thread is that makes a book an LJW Publishing choice! It's the acknowledgement of the big picture.

We're a small press run by Arizona natives. And as Arizona natives we're very well trained in the art of looking past the obvious and recognizing the wonder that lays on the horizon: the BIG picture.

There are many places that can be called beautiful, but there aren't many places that offer the same opportunity to appreciate the beauty of an area in the same way as Arizona. In Arizona...you get the Big Picture. For instance, other regions featuring rolling hills, and towering oak trees, and bubbling brooks amid wooded areas are very picturesque, but the beauty of Arizona is something you have to reach for. It's not sitting right there waiting for you to walk on it or run into it; it's waiting for you to look up and take notice and give it the respect it's worth. And once you do...you'll know what I'm talking about.

Books have the same opportunity to provide beauty, and the books LJW Publishing offers give it...big picture style. That's the common thread.
