Signature Press is closing at the end of this year. Throughout its life, covering some 30 years, we published 49 titles (many of which are now out of print). Throughout this time, partners Bob Church and Tony Thompson ran the business, with vital and considerable help with order handling from Kim Stein.

Our goal from the beginning was to publish high-quality books: well-made, attractive, and historically authoritative. We were sure that many of the books would sell well, but there were others that we published because we thought they deserved it, even if perhaps not commercially successful (though most of them in fact were successful).

Bob and I are both in our 80’s now, and though we still love railroad books, we feel like it’s time to call it a day. We’ve enjoyed the work and have been proud of our books. We know many readers have enjoyed them too, and that’s perhaps the best valediction we could have.
