Notable Publications
Workman invented the groundbreaking Page-A-Day Calendar series covering a variety of topics. Among its iconic bestsellers are B. Kliban's Cat, The Official Preppy Handbook, the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die book, calendar, and television program. It publishes the bestselling pregnancy guide, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, many of Sandra Boynton’s children's books, and Brain Quest. Workman has also published many widely regarded cookbooks, including Steven Raichlen’s The Barbecue Bible series and Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso’s The Silver Palate Cookbook.
Workman’s flagship imprint is known for a very information-dense layout inspired by magazine publishers, with large amounts of illustration and a heavy reliance on sidebars to convey information not directly stated in the text itself.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or publications:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
