Babel Inc Information

Babel Press has been producing camera-ready manuscripts using TeX and LaTeX since 1979, when TeX became the academic typesetting language of choice at Stanford, CMU, and MIT. We specialize in high-technology solutions, using powerful computers and custom tools unavailable to desktop publishers. This allows us to offer overseas pricing while maintaining the highest quality. Our equipment includes color NeXTstations running UNIX, Apple Quadra 700s running Mac OS, and IBM PCs running DOS and Linux. We can read and write disks and tapes of almost any format, or interact with authors through email and electronic file transfer. We have produced over thirty books, four major LaTeX style packages, and several hundred pieces of art for Morgan Kaufmann, Springer-Verlag, Oxford University Press, University Science Books, Delmar Press, and Escape Ventures.
