History

Graphic Arts Center Publishing started in 1967 as a division of Graphic Arts Center, Inc., Oregon's largest printer. The publishing house was one of the pioneers in publishing large-format, full-color photographic books. These became known as "coffee table books." Their first book in this format was the popular "Oregon", a book of photographs by Ray Atkeson, which became a series that includes "Oregon 2" and "Oregon III".cite web

In the mid 1980s, Graphic Arts began to diversify from photographic books into subjects like children’s fiction and non-fiction. In 1993, Graphic Arts acquired Alaska Northwest Books, the largest trade book publisher in the Alaskan market.

In 1998, Graphic Arts started its third imprint, WestWinds Press, to launch a series of Western titles and photography books.

In April 2006, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In October 2006, Ingram Book Group invested in Graphic Arts as part of a bankruptcy reorganization plan.cite web
