Reviews
"[Virginia] Chute proved to be a knowledgeable historian on both sides of the Atlantic...she is an excellent storyteller and the creator of believable and enjoyable characters...The Remembrances of Marietta Lufford is solid historical context. It has a good strong story. The language is sustained and believable...this is an impressive work and a delightful read. Finally, it reveals much about the first European settlement in our region."

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author.
