About Princeton Architectural Press

fine books and gifts since 1981...

Celebrating over 35 years, Princeton Architectural Press is a world leader in architecture and design publishing, both in editorial and design excellence.

With over 1,000 titles published, they have consistently sought the best in their field and are privileged to be able to attract and publish it. They've made their reputation in part by identifying new trends and publishing first books on emerging talents, as well as definitive works on established names, and by creating books of unsurpassed design quality and production values.

They find design everywhere and in the most unlikely places. They try to make books that are smart and beautiful, and the quality of their titles is widely extolled...both the Press and their books have won numerous awards, for editorial excellence and for book design. They've been described in professional and popular media as "visually inviting," "elegant and charming," "useful as well as beautiful," "lovingly produced," "authoritative," "thorough and comprehensive". Utne Reader says it most flatteringly: "By paying attention this closely, to humble and often ignored corners of the visible world, Princeton Architectural Press books have the somewhat paradoxical effect of expanding our sense of possibility, suggesting that there is wonder and beauty just about anywhere in the cultural, as well as in the natural world."
