The Top 30 Book Manufacturers
Book Business’ annual list of the Top 30 Book Manufacturers is the industry’s most comprehensive ranking of the leading public and private book printers in the United States and Canada. In addition to financial information from public companies, the ranking includes figures voluntarily provided by privately held firms. Despite Book Business’ repeated attempts, some companies refused to divulge their annual printing sales figures—or would not break down these sales by revenue from book printing—and, therefore, were not included on the list. RR Donnelley does not separate its revenue from book printing from its other businesses, but the company’s acquisitions last year of Perry Judd’s, Von Hoffman and Banta Corp. ensure that this figure is ahead of No. 2-ranked Quebecor World’s.
