After more than thirty years as an independent company, Galison and Mudpuppy have joined the book division of the McEvoy Group, a San Francisco-based media company. Fellow group members include Chronicle Books, Princeton Architectural Press, and becker&meyer! We are proud to be in such good company and eager to see what the future brings.
So we have new friends, and in getting acquainted, I saw a video Chronicle Books made to launch one of their books that's hot off the press:
Since I worked with our New York City office building's management to allow bicycle commuters access to a place to store bikes during the work day, I really appreciate it
Here's to our new colleagues, to spring, and to bicycling! Wear a helmet!!!

Galison just found out that our new Playful Animals Baby Book is a finalist for a 2012 Trendy Award!
Every year Stationery Trends Magazine sponsors the Trendy Awards to showcase the latest trends in greeting cards, gifts and stationery in 6 categories; Baby, Bridal, Green, Greeting Cards, Holiday and Office.
This year Galison's Playful Animals Baby Book was chosen in the Baby category!
We hope to move onto round two with lots of votes, and support, from our fans! If you love our new Baby Book, or just want to help support Galison, you can vote in the Baby category for our Playful Animals Baby Book. Just find our image and give it a "thumbs up" to show how much you love it.

We know that what people pick up on impulse in stores is not always the same as what appeals to online shoppers. Nevertheless, it's always fun to guess what the most popular products on our website are.
To be fair, sometimes we have too many titles competing--like Meryl Streep in various roles contending for an Academy Award. Mudpuppy Magnetic Figures are incredibly popular, but there are so many different titles to choose from...
So here are the deserving winners---most units sold on www.galison.com in 2011:
Gennine D. Zlatkis's illustrations and Galison design made this Avian Friends Pocket Planner a winner!
On the Mudpuppy side, Playful Patterns Magnetic Letters spelled V-E-R-Y- P-O-P-U-L-A-R!
And now they are available as sets of Playful Patterns Lowercase Letters and Playful Patterns Numbers, 2!
It will be fun to see what 2012 brings!
