The
Learning Source
The Learning Source has been creating innovative
books and educational materials since 1984. In 2001, the company
established Ivy Gate Books to solidify its expansion into
the trade, branded books, and custom publishing markets. Although
children's books, especially nonfiction, remain a particular
specialty, Ivy Gate continues to develop children's fiction
as well as adult reference and trade nonfiction; the Learning
Source retains its focus on school and adult learning materials.
Areas of expertise and interest include history, science,
testing programs, and biography as well as personal finance,
how-to's, lifestyle, and ESL.
