University Presses and Scholarly Associations that Publish Texts

Another option, is to look for texts published by university presses or scholarly associations--these non-profits offer high quality, often at moderate prices.

Or, you can seek out small specialty publishers with expertise in specific fields. Texts from these "niche" publishers can be both high quality and reasonably priced (see examples among the Texty award winners at right).
