While Cooke Publishing Company established
and maintains its
reputation in the school yearbook industry, the talents and expertise
of our professionals make us aptly suited for a variety of projects.
Everyone has a story to tell. Finding the right way to tell it is the
challenge. Cooke Publishing Company has been helping organizations
and individuals recount their stories and preserve their unique
histories for more than fifty years. We help you bring to life, preserve
and celebrate all of the unique people, events, memories and
experiences that make up your organization’s history.
We have produced more than 100 anniversary
history books for
churches, religious communities, social groups, civil organizations, and
businesses in the Philadelphia and tri-state area. Customers are as
diverse as: The Delaware State Police, The Union League of
Philadelphia, The Bryn Mawr Hospital, The Philadelphia Country Club ,
The Boy Scouts of America, The Brothers of the Christian Schools, The
Sisters of St. Francis, St. Joseph, St. Benedict, St. Dominic, Our Lady
Help of Christians, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
and numerous high schools that have reached anniversary milestones.
We have published detailed histories, pictorial essays, directories, ad
books, and family portrait publications, all in concert with major
anniversaries at institutions. Churches of multiple faiths have
produced twenty-five year histories with us, and once we produced
eleven centennial histories during an 18-month period. No two looked
alike, as we strive to design books that are personal and unique to
each customer.
We have a package of suggestions that covers
material gathering,
copywriting and licensing, fundraising for the publication, organizing
the content, organizing anniversary committees, and a schedule to
ensure timely preparation, manufacture and delivery of the books.
While hardback, sewn editions are the most popular publications; they
are but one option. We produce perfect bound paper cover and hard
cover editions, and paper cover stapled editions. We work within the
desired budget of each customer and direct the process to ensure
financial stability on the project.
