Coconut Press
is a small, independent book publisher. It was founded in 2000
by Mike and Julie Neal, who run the business from their home
on Sanibel Island, Florida. Its mission is to publish travel
and nature guides for Florida and the Caribbean that combine
in-depth information, interesting photos and a friendly, personal
style.
Our first
book, Sanibel & Captiva: A Guide to the Islands, was
published in February 2002. It quickly became the best-selling
book in island history. Today it is sold at over 100 shops on
Sanibel and Captiva, as well as nationally at Barnes & Noble,
Books-A-Million and many other stores (autographed copies are
sold through this web site.) The second edition was published
in August, 2003.
Our second
book is Walt Disney World: A Guide to the Magic. This
guide will be published in April, 2004.
Coconut Press
books are wholesaled nationally by Baker and Taylor, Southern
Book Service and the American Wholesale Book Company.
