University Presses are good to work with. Select a regional press who may
be interested in the topic. University presses have standard contracts but
read up on contracts in general so you can have an understanding of them.

Good luck!

Subject: art book publishers - experience?
To ARLIS/NA members who have written art/art history/cultural studies/etc.
books:
I am in the early stages of writing a book proposal. The content of the
planned book will include primary resources, reprints of out-of-print
secondary sources, critical essays by contemporary scholars, and color/b&w
plates of works by an artist. The work will use visual images as one
component of the overall book (i.e. a section of color plates, not like a
general art book with lots of color images), so the publisher does not
necessarily have to be a top-of-the-line art book publisher per se,
although their experience would probably be beneficial.
I'm looking for some feedback on your experience with these kind of
publishers from the perspective of being both an author as well as a
librarian. Based on your experience, what publishers would you recommend
or not recommend? Any other advice you might have to share with this
process itself would be greatly appreciated also. Thanks in advance!
