The Texas A&M University Press,
now entering its 10th year, enjoys a
growth rate that surpasses many
other university presses across the
country. It has netted almost $5 mil
lion in sales and distributed 400,000
books around the-world since Hous
tonian John H. Lindsey, Class of’44,
encouraged A&M to start the press
in 1975.
Lloyd G. Lyman, director of the
University Press, said the press has
two main responsibilities: to publish
books of scholarly interest for peo
ple all over the world, and to publish
books reflecting the culture and his
tory of Texas and the Southwest.
The University Press has pub
lished volumes on various subjects,
some of which include art and
folklore which preserve and inter-
E ret Texas’ heritage, history, natural
istory, environmental history, the
American West, economics, oil and
nautical archaeology.
“Our main goal,” Lyman said, “is
to serve the constituency of Texas
and Texas A&M. We serve the inter
ests of the people on a regional basis
and the academic community on a
worldwide basis.”
Lyman succeeded founding direc
tor Frank H. Wardlaw in 1978, after
serving 15 years as assistant director
of the University of California Press
at Berkeley, as executive editor and
marketing manager of the Louisiana
State University Press and as asso
ciate director of the University Press.
Last September the University
Press moved into a new $1.7 million
building named in honor of Lindsey.
The 5,000 square foot building
houses production, editorial, mar
keting, warehousing and shipping
facilities, Lyman said.
The building also houses the
Frank H. Wardlaw Collection of
Texas Art — a collection of 22 pieces
by Texas artists — donated to the
C ress at the dedication of its new
uilding.
Lyman knows of “no better physi
cal facility for a university press in
the United States. Many are rele
gated to condemned fraternity
houses and to library basements,” he
said.
Lyman said the University Press
will publish the manuscript of any
one who qualifies.
“Around 30 percent of our au
thors are Texas A&M professors,
though you don’t have to be on staff
to get published,” Lyman said. “We
like to publish our own faculty’s
manuscripts, but many have pre
vious commitments to other
presses.”
Prospective manuscripts must be
reviewed and approved by a faculty
advisory committee made up of
members of' faculties from Texas
A&M, Prairie View A&M University,
Tarleton State University and Texas
A&M University at Galveston.
The University Press has pub
lished more than 170 books since its
first volume, “Storms Brewed in
Other Men’s Worlds: The Con
frontation of Indians, Spanish, and
French in the Southwest,” by Eliza
beth A.H. John was published in
1975.
The University Press publishes
about 30 new books annually and re
cently received funds for two new se
ries — the Frank H. Wardlaw series
and the Clayton Wheat Williams
Texas Life Series.
Former publishing colleagues and
longtime friends of Frank Wardlaw,
director emeritus of the University
Press, are funding the Wardlaw se
ries. The series will feature books
dealing with Texas and the South
west.
The Williams series was estab
lished by Clayton W. Williams Jr. in
honor of his father. It will focus on
daily life in Texas at different time
periods, from the beginning of re
corded time until the present.
Lyman said the University Press is
“at the low end of the medium-sized
university presses, which publish
from 20 to 75 books per year." Large
presses publish more than 60 per
year, Lyman added.
By
He said the largest American uni
versity press is the University of Cali
fornia Press that prints more than
200 books per year.

Several books published by the
press have received special critical
recognition. The most important,
“Ashbel Smith of Texas: Pioneer,
Patriot, Statesman, 1805-1886," by
Elizabeth Silverthorne won the Tul-
lis Memorial Award from the Texas
State Historical Association in 1982.
In the same year, it won top awards
from the Daughters of the Republic
of Texas and from the Sons of the
Republic of Texas.
