MEET OUR TEAM
We love books and we think the future of book publishing is bright! We also love the local businesses in the craft industry that bring creativity, personal expression and art to the forefront of our communities. With decades of experience creating and selling books to the independent craft community, we’re excited to be an independent company of our own, representing the best craft book publishers in the world and making it easier and more economical for independent craft stores to make books a consistent and profitable part of their product mix. We’re a small team with plans to grow. If you are a publisher that makes world-class craft books and are looking for sales representation, please contact us. If you’re a craft retailer looking for the latest and greatest books to carry in your store, please choose a store from the menu and start shopping. Thanks for visiting Sommer Street. We’re here for you.
