She will oversee all children’s trade nonfiction publishing, reporting to trade division president Ellie Berger. Farbey was most recently global publisher at DK.

Chicago Review Press, Inc. has acquired German-based Art Stock Bocks, which distributes fine art, architecture and photography titles published by approximately 30 European publishers in North America. All marketing and operations will be integrated into their subsidiary Independent Publishers Group (IPG). President of IPG Mark Suchomel says in the announcement, “Art Stock Books is a first-rate, niche art distributor with titles that will wonderfully complement our other distribution arms. Publishers already distributed by ASB will immediately benefit from IPG’s operational economies and our strong sales efforts in and outside the book trade.”

Ingram Publisher Services announced three new distribution clients: Windsor Peak Press (parenting and wedding titles), ALARM Press, and Schilt Publishing (high-end photography books).
