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:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
