“I learned about a job for children’s book publisher Field Publications,” Pelkey recalls. “Many people know the company for its Weekly Reader magazine. They were looking for an inventory planner, which was somewhat similar to what I’d been doing before, and I took a shot at it.”
Being an inventory planner for a year or so whet Pelkey’s appetite for publishing, and the executives at Field took notice of his drive. He was offered a promotion to junior print buyer. “I really didn’t know much about the graphic arts, but the company offered to give me extensive training, so I decided to give it a try.”
