PA Press was founded as Princeton Architectural Press in 1981 in Princeton, NJ, and quickly emerged as a leading publisher of books on architecture, design, and visual culture, building its award-winning reputation by identifying new trends and publishing first books on emerging talents, as well as definitive works on established names, and by creating books of unsurpassed design quality and production values.
Now located in New York City and a division of Chronicle Books, PA Press has broadened its publishing scope to include book categories such as narrative nonfiction, pop culture, nature, gardening, and crafts & hobbies, in addition to introducing illustrated children’s books, fine stationery products, and puzzles to its publishing program.
