NEWS AND NOTES
FirstForumPress, a division of LRP, was established in 2008 to coincide with our twenty-fifth year as an independent presence in scholarly and textbook publishing. FirstForum emerged as a solution to a problem. We know that book sales are no measure of the value of scholarly research. We also know that the sales of many scholarly books do not generate enough income to cover the costs of publishing them. So . . . how can we provide a forum for important work that may otherwise be overlooked because of today's market constraints? We designed FirstForum to do just that—to publish specialized scholarly research of the highest quality in a timely and cost-effective fashion.
