Our Company:
Focus Publishing has been in business since 1987. We are most well known for our college textbooks, but our most recent efforts have stretched out beyond textbooks, into everyday reading material and resources. We focus on quality, not price.

 

Educate with confidence using our popular translations from the Focus Classical Library or philosophize with some well known authors such as Joe Sachs, with books like Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics, from our Focus Philosophical Library. Interesting in learning a modern foreign language? Use our infamously innovate cinema series to learn French, Spanish, Italian, German and Russian. Or, if you are looking for summer reading, check out our New Kittrdedge Shakespeare Series. Brushing up on your writing skills? Everyone needs the hippest language reference book around, Jack Lynch’s English Language, A User’s Guide. Are you a playwright looking for tips on where to send your plays? Available to the public for the first time is the 2008 Dramatist Guild Resource Directory. Want to learn Latin from the best? Use Hans H. Orberg’s internationally famous immersion method, Lingua Latina per se illustrata.
