Taylor Publishing -- Capturing Memories

Taylor is undoubtedly a leader among high school and college annuals, having more than $114 million in sales for the fiscal year that ended August 31, 2002. While the company produces full-color, short-run publications (commemorative, annual and coffee table variety), it is best known for creating the tomes that capture moments in time shared by all—the common experiences which enable these hard-bound books to have everlasting shelf life.

"We do not view the yearbook business as a task of just printing a job," states David Fiore, CEO of Taylor Publishing. "We view it as a total experience. It's an annual publishing job conducted by an advisor and yearbook committee, primarily a new set of students who come together each year. They're seeking to put together a fairly complex publishing project that carries a high degree of visibility within their respective schools.
