From: Carly Bareham <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:08:38 +0000 **Apologies for cross-posting** ----------------------- AVA NOW PUBLISHED UNDER FAIRCHILD BOOKS You may be aware that in July 2012, Bloomsbury Publishing Plc acquired AVA Publishing. Until this point AVA has been kept as an independent imprint, but, to better serve our authors and customers, this is now changing. With effect from 1st April 2013, all new AVA titles will be published under the Fairchild Books imprint. Fairchild Books has a long history of excellence in textbook publishing in the visual arts. The new combined Fairchild Books will publish around 50 new titles a year and have a backlist of 450 titles in fashion, interior design, graphic arts, moving image and photography, and architecture. Bloomsbury began to build its world-class academic division in 2008. It now has a particularly large presence in the visual arts, the humanities and the social sciences. With the acquisitions of Berg Publishers in 2008, Fairchild Books in April 2012 and now AVA Publishing, Bloomsbury has become the largest publisher of academic materials for visual arts in the world. ----------------------- NEW WEBSITE After the recent launch of the new academic part of the Bloomsbury website, you can now find our books, e-books and digital product information on one site, all grouped by subject area. Bloomsbury Journals (formerly Berg Journals) also joined the site at the end of February and have their own section within the Academic menu. There is a specific area for librarians; please see http://www.bloomsbury.com/librarians/ for further information. For more information about reference, academic collections, research and teaching books, journals and digital products, please visit http://www.bloomsbury.com/academic. Following the global success of the Berg Fashion Library, we have a number of other exciting digital products in development which will serve research and teaching needs across our larger visual arts programme. This includes the forthcoming Bloomsbury Fashion Photography Archive (see http://bergfashionlibrary.com/page/103/bloomsbury-fashion-photography-archive for more information) If you have any questions about these developments, please do get in touch and we would be happy to help. ----------------------- Yours faithfully, Carly Bareham On behalf of Katharine Nelson Marketing Executive, Bloomsbury [log in to unmask] Bloomsbury http://www.bloomsbury.com/
