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.
