Idiot’s Guides Celebrates 20 Years
(PRWEB) September 09, 2013 -- In 2013, the Complete Idiot’s Guides® series celebrates 20 years in publication. After publishing hundreds of titles in more than thirty categories, the series remains relevant and loved by reference book buyers all over the world. Now, the series will enter its next chapter.
A lot has changed in 20 years—the books underwent several makeovers, the topics changed to reflect current and ever-evolving interests, and the books are now available in digital formats. To reflect the transformation of a series that has evolved into a stand-alone brand, the series title has been shortened to “Idiot’s Guides®.” A new cover welcomes readers with a clean and accessible design that emphasizes “easy,” and the interior now incorporates more graphics, giving readers the right balance of text, art, and color, optimal for making each topic as easy to learn as possible.
With a commitment to be “As Easy As It Gets” when it comes to learning something new, there isn’t another reference book or series that is as accessible, easy-to-use, or quick-to-absorb. In September and November, twelve upcoming titles will propel the series into a new frontier for the next 20 years. The new books will deliver the core attributes that Idiot’s Guides® always strives to deliver: a controlled pace of learning, a clear progression from easy to difficult, more steps wherever beneficial, and navigation that seamlessly guides readers through the book and each spread in it.
