ABOUT US
Workman Publishing revolutionized travel books in 2003 with Patricia Schultz’s fabulous
1,000 Places to See Before You Die.
It was a book eight years in the making and has become a phenomenon quickly followed
by the
1,000 Places to See Before You Die Traveler’s Journal
in 2005 and
1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. and Canada Before You Die
in 2007. Millions have identified with these books, and this website is a place
for fans to come together and share experiences from their own life lists. Workman
is a publisher that's always around big ideas.
B. Kliban's Cat,
The Silver Palate Cookbook,
Bad Cat,
the original
Page-A-Day® Calendars, the
What to Expect® books,
Brain Quest®—landmark
bestsellers such as these reflect a knack for publishing books and calendars that
lead. Perhaps more telling is the fact that over two-thirds of all the books we've
published in the last twenty-eight years are still in print. Actively so, with a
fair share of titles that have over one million copies in print, including Brain
Quest®, The Silver Palate Cookbook,
The New Basics Cookbook,
All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat,
The Magic Locket, and
The Bones Book & Skeleton. Today we're
still growing, evolving, innovating. Our calendar list is bigger, our business more
established. But look at our offerings and you'll see not a company running on past
successes, but one that works just as hard to launch the new idea as it does to
keep the proven title selling—a company that works as hard to publish the best calendar
as it does to publish the best book.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Patricia Schultz is the author of 1,000 Places to See In the U.S.A. and Canada Before You Die and
1,000 Places to See Before You Die, as well as Executive Producer of the Travel Channel’s show of the same name.
Based in New York City, she’s also written for Condé Nast Traveler, Islands, and Harper’s Bazaar.
Patricia started the series as a labor of love, working on 1,000 Places to See Before You Die with the help of friends,
travel companions, tourism boards, and even complete strangers for eight years.
She has lived and traveled all over the world, and estimates that she’s visited 80% of the places listed in the books. . . and
still counting! To both first-time and seasoned travelers she gives this bit of
wisdom: “The journey abroad reflects the one within—the most unknown and foreign and unmapped landscape of them all,
the ultimate terra incognita.”
"At last, a book that tells you what's beautiful, what's fun, and what's just unforgettable--everywhere on earth."
