Link to April 30 Publishers Weekly online post, "Wisconsin Historical Society Press on Record Pace".Excerpt: While Minnesota Historical Society Press faces the prospect of laying off one-third of its staff and reducing its book production by 30% in the face of expected state budget cuts, the Wisconsin Historical Society Press in Madison is having a record sales year. While Kathy Borkowski, WHSP’s editorial director, acknowledges that she’s not been able to fill two open positions at the press due to a state hiring freeze, the press gross revenues have already topped $1 million and should reach $1.1 million when the fiscal year ends July 1. This year’s sales are more than double last year’s revenues of $484,000, and five times the $210,000 the press grossed in 2004, when Borkowski took the helm.
