“We’re a book and journal publisher, which publishes mostly books by professors for tenure and promotion,” Lloyd said from the UW Press offices on Monroe Street in Madison. “And because we are one of the largest publishers in the state, we also publish books of interest to people in the region on the nature, culture, history and art of Wisconsin and region.”
