About Jamax Publishers Press…
Every book, magazine or brochure published by Jamax Publishers Press comes with decades of technical and creative experience. Along with this talent comes intimate experience with every corner of the state, be it small town, city, backroads or backcountry. While others publishers may have heard or read about it; we’ve been there and know it well.
In order to present the most accurate and entertaining product, our team spends months in the field gathering information and photographs specific to the area. Next, we spend weeks researching and writing the copy and editing photographs. Finally, we devote intense attention to editorial and photographic details to design a pleasing product. All this effort and experience produces some of the most beautiful and highest quality books that the industry has to offer.
