Cosimo, Publisher for a Sustainable Society, Announces New Website Launch

Online, April 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Cosimo, Inc., a New York-based leading specialty publisher announces the launch of its new and updated website: www.cosimobooks.com. With the ever-shifting face of technology and constant changes in the publishing world, Cosimo recognized the time was right to increase the accessibility and user-friendliness of its website.

This new website is devoted to highlighting its books, classics, and reports by featuring them on the homepage. This month features award-winning Earth Fever, Living Consciously with Climate Change by Judy McAllister et al., and the classic The Living Flame of Love by St. John of the Cross.

As Cosimo publisher and CEO Alexander M. Dake explained: "We found that in order to grow our business, we needed to not only improve the visibility of our unique catalog, but also improve the accessibility of the site to our key audiences, our authors, potential authors, and our customers."

Aspiring authors visiting the new site will now find an interactive author application form. Other visitors will get a clear view of Cosimo's publishing services (b2b publishing, private imprints, and custom editions), and Cosimo's wholesale customers, such as bookstores, libraries, organizations, and authors, are now able to place and track their orders in a newly created e-commerce section.

"We also felt that with a renewed mission statement of 'creating a smart and sustainable society by connecting people with valuable ideas,' our emphasis on the quality of our books, our authors and their impact on society, it was time to reflect this mission with a refreshed look and feel for our website," Dake said. "We believe strongly that our mission is what distinguishes us from other publishers. Case in point is also the listing of non-profit organizations Cosimo supports."

Additional features of the website include Cosimo's various collections and series of classic books, and an updated FAQ section, which will be expanded as new questions are presented by the site's visitors.
