The Lakeside Book Company Story
As the leading book manufacturing, fulfillment, and distribution company in North America, we collaborate with our customers to bring their visions to life. Our legacy of innovation began in 1864 when R.R. Donnelley started as a partner at a small printing company in Chicago, laying the foundation for our rich history.
Our longevity and success is largely attributed to our dedicated employees who manifest excellence through their contributions to our business, customers, and the communities in which we operate.
We combine cutting-edge technology and efficient processes designed for maximum productivity with decades of book manufacturing experience to seamlessly execute on your projects.
