And did you know, Sylvan Dell changed their name to ARBORDALE? Copied this from my email: Whats in a Name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Sylvan Dell Publishing is now Arbordale Publishing! Effective March 1st, We changed our name to Arbordale Publishing. In business since the fall of 2004, our company will continue to produce the same quality fun-to-read picture books with a science or math theme. The name change took place in order to avoid a time-consuming and costly legal battle over the use of the word “Sylvan” in the name. Our original name was closely associated with co-owner Donna Germans family. Her grandfather purchased a farmhouse in a wooded valley outside Wilmington, Delaware shortly after his return from serving in WWI. He hailed from Williamsport, Pennsylvania where there had been a Sylvan Dell Park (closed in the late 1930s). Named after the park, a hand-carved, wooden sign saying Sylvan Dell hung at the property’s driveway entrance for decades. Family still lives on the property. In Latin, Sylvan Dell means wooded valley. Our logo was designed to capture that idea of learning leaves falling into an open book, representing the valley. Arbordale also means wooded valley, allowing us to use the same logo for brand recognition. Co-owner and publisher, Lee German, shares “Last year was a good year for us. We are excited at the prospects for continued growth and making a difference in childrens lives. Arbordale Publishing will continue to pursue our mission of contributing to literacy with our unique formula of blending science and math into picture books. And, we will continue to lead the way with dual language (English/Spanish), interactive eBooks for young readers. We hope that all of our customers and industry friends will continue to join us in our mission.” For more information on the name change, please see our website, arbordalepublishing, or contact Public Relations Coordinator, Heather Williams at Heather@ArbordalePublishing or Lee German at Lee@ArbordalePublishing.
