Johnson Books

Johnson Books was established in 1978 and for 40 years has been exploring and celebrating both the facts and fantasies of the West. As one of Colorado's premier book publishers Johnson Books has grown with the West, and so has been able to keep a pulse on its important issues-both historical and contemporary. Johnson Books are regional in nature, focused on the mountain and desert West, and include environmental subjects, history, geology, archaeology, and general nonfiction. Trails Books has roots going back to the founding of the quarterly journal Wisconsin Tales and Trails in 1960. Wisconsin Trails published it's first book in 1971. Expanding throughout the midwest over the following decades, Trails Books grew to become one of the leading publishers of regional guidebooks. We have continued expanding, and with the acquisition of Westcliffe Publishers and 3D Press, now have offerings from most regions of the country.
