DirectionPress books

See publishing designed for focused markets.

Capitol Info and NeedleTravel show the DirectionPress approach in two different markets: organize specialized information, respect the reader's context, and make the result easy to use.

Government information

Capitol Info

Reference books for readers who need structured access to changing government information.

Fiber and fabric communities

NeedleTravel

Sold nationwide since 2008, NeedleTravel connects makers, independent shops, and industry experts through useful market information.

The shared idea

A smaller market can be a clearer market.

Specialist readers already share vocabulary, needs, habits, organizations, and places where they gather. DirectionPress builds around that context instead of treating every book like a general-interest title.

The result is not small thinking. It is focused publishing: one useful book for one clearly understood market.
