Skyhorse and Arcade congratulate Mo Yan on winning the 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature

Dear Readers, Customers, Authors, and Friends:

We opened our doors in 2006 committed to bringing the world a broad mix of books. With six New York Times bestsellers, more than 2,000 books on our backlist, and nearly 600 planned over the next year across our five imprints, we've been thrilled with the response we've received from the press, booksellers, and readers.

The core categories of our Skyhorse imprint include outdoor sports, adventure, team sports, nature, and country living, with a good dose of politics, true crime, history and military history, reference, and humor—practical, literary, and general trade. Whether you are looking for a guide to fly tying, a lively read about organized crime or the world of politics, or a gift book, we hope you'll find what you are looking for on our list. With our imprints, we are also publishing children's books as Sky Pony Press, regional sports books from Sports Publishing, practical books for creative professionals from Allworth Press, and literary fiction and nonfiction from Arcade Publishing.

In fall 2011, we began to co-publish the Not For Tourists series of travel guides. In 2012, we introduced the Helios series on philosophy, religion, and psychology.

Skyhorse is distributed by W. W. Norton in the United States, Thomas Allen & Son in Canada, and Constable & Robinson, one of England's oldest and most respected independent publishers, in the United Kingdom and the European Union.

I hope you enjoy our books as much as we enjoy publishing them.

Tony Lyons
Publisher
