2005 CHICAGO-AREA DIRECTORIES
ONLINE NOW PRINTED GUIDEBOOKS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!
Abstract Publishing
was established in 1972 with the sale of advertising for the
Antique Shop Guide for Chicago and Vicinity. Since then,
Abstract Publishing has been considered a specialty publisher, producing
guidebooks, directories and workbooks concentrating on specific
areas of interest and communal focus. Abstract Publishing has also
been involved in traditional hard-backed and paper-backed book production
during the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1988 Abstract Publishing
made a transition from printed books to digital media duplication
and ultimately to the lucrative software development and publishing
arena. In 2002, the decision was made to bring back and combine
the traditional printed proprietary publications of the past with
the digital and Internet-based wave of the future.
A series of 25 DIFFERENT
GUIDEBOOKS on various specific specialty markets are being
produced in printed format as well as in digital format on the
Internet.
