Dominique Raccah founded Sourcebooks, one of the nation’s leading independent book publishers, in the spare bedroom of her house in 1987.

Now, twenty years after its conception, Ms. Raccah and all of Sourcebooks celebrate their success with number one titles in parenting and college guides, a brand new children’s imprint (Sourcebooks Jabberwocky), and an ever-expanding roster of business relationships (including U.S. News and World Report, Forbes, The History Channel and the recently announced agreement with Playskool).
