Company History Books

There are many important reasons to chronicle the history of a successful company with a corporate history book, company history book, or association history book. Among the first questions asked of your corporate leadership should be: “Who are the most important audiences for the company history book?” and, “What is it you would like them to understand about the company that perhaps they didn’t fully appreciate before they began reading the book?”

A company history book preserves the unique culture and reinforces the philosophy, mission, and spirit of the corporation among current and future company employees. As an organization grows, current customers and prospects are not always fully aware of the scope, quality, and innovation of products and services available. Having a company history book will help current and desired customers to become better familiarized with the organization’s scope of operations. No matter if it is your company’s 20th50th or 75th anniversary or more, your target audience will feel confident in your organization’s success as they hold your corporate history book in their hands. While you may have been through lean times, challenging events, and periods of exceptional growth, it is comforting for each of your readers to know that you are in it for the long haul. Our company history books will clearly portray that confidence.

Many companies realize that sustained growth often means a combination of organic growth and acquisition. It is important that corporate acquisition candidates understand the positive company cultures, virtues, philosophy, and acquisition history of a prospective corporate parent. Write Stuff will make sure that successful acquisition integrations, synergies, and greater opportunities for the acquired companies and their employees are well chronicled.

Your internal and external audiences, including analysts, institutional shareholders, joint venture partners, and media, have a genuine need to understand your company. Properly told, your corporate history can boost the profile and positioning of your company with great effect. Each of these groups will use your company history book to reinforce their positive opinions of the company. Through the voices of your leadership, key employees, and key customers, your positive evolution and current initiatives are together pulled into focus to tell the whole story with a well-illustrated and comprehensive corporate history book.

Corporate Anniversary Books

There is perhaps no more compelling time to prepare a comprehensive company history of a corporation than to commemorate and celebrate a special milestone such as a company anniversary. Nearly half of our extensive library of company history books was produced to coincide with a significant anniversary. These anniversary books will become the cornerstone of a yearlong celebration, and should be readily available on the eve of the company’s anniversary.

From the 20th anniversary of Office Depot, to the 150th anniversary of Pfizer, the business anniversary book is always the first element to be produced, and provides a wealth of benefits to other potential anniversary projects. Once the manuscript is prepared, it contains the best text, illustrations, and captions regarding your corporate history. This thoroughly vetted document can be used to vastly accelerate other business anniversary-related projects.

No matter if it is your company’s 25th or 100th anniversary, each of your important audiences will feel confident that you have a venerable organization. Your company has been through lean times, challenging events, and periods of exceptional growth. A company anniversary book comforts each of your audiences, letting them know that your company is in it for the long haul.

Biography Books

A biography or autobiography is a specialized work that requires the highest level of professional direction and focus. Biographical history books published by Write Stuff are among the best in this challenging field. For example, our historical biography of Carl Kiekhaefer, the founder and enigmatic visionary of Mercury Outboard fame, is an iconic and perennial favorite. It required more than 300 in-depth interviews and travel to nine states. At nearly 700 pages, it is extraordinarily thorough.

Previous biography books include the story of Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, which has become a reference guide without peer to the life of the man who co-founded Pan-American Airlines and co-produced Gone With the Wind, among a dazzling breadth of other accomplishments. Our work is exceptionally discrete and sensitive to the privacy of the families and associates of the subjects of our biography books.

Beyond the art of capturing the personality, accomplishments, and life of an individual, business biography books also serve a number of important goals, particularly when individuals are associated with a thriving business. A business biography book can be a superb recruiting device and a marketing tool for existing and future customers, as well as an important guide for corporate branding, repositioning, reorganization, and merger and acquisition activities.

Company Timeline Books

Not every organization has the time or budget to publish a full-length, illustrated company history book or a full-length company anniversary book prepared in advance of a special corporate event or milestone. An excellent option is to have a company timeline book produced. Despite its smaller format and fewer pages, the company timeline book is packed with browsable information for the reader. The company timeline book allows for all of the traditional features of the larger history book. These elements include harvested quotes from interviews, sidebars, the foreword, introduction, acknowledgments, index, and appendices as reader-friendly components to a highly-illustrated timeline of historic corporate milestones of the company’s history.
