author: Algonquin Books
description: Since 1989. Algonquin publish literary fiction and nonfiction, cookbooks, and lifestyle books about family, animals, food, flowers, adventure, and other topics of interest. Mission Statement: "'We shall be publishing books of quality, both fiction and nonfiction. They will be attractively produced, promoted individually, and marketed extensively. Though we hope and expect that our books will gain their share of book club adoptions, mass paperback sales, and movie and television adaptations, it is their quality that will be our foremost consideration, for we believe that it is still possible to publish worthy fiction and nonfiction that will also be financially profitable for author, publisher, and bookseller."'
