About Great Texas Line Press

Welcome to Great Texas Line Press online store We are an independent boutique press creating regional travel guides, books that exude a Texas sense of humor and unique Texas and Louisiana cookbooks, all affordably price while being made in USA. Berkeley Place Books and Savory House Press are imprints of Great Texas Line Press, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas. Our aim is to produce quality books that are value priced. Begun in 1994 as a mid-life crisis venture by ex-war correspondent Barry Shlachter (barryshlachter.net), it has evolved into a publisher of cooking, travel books, humor books, sports and specialty titles. Every effort is made to engage writers, photographers, editors and graphic designers forced out of daily journalism in Texas because of the newspaper industry crisis. Over the years, thousands of dollars have been donated to Habitat for Humanity, the North Fort Worth Historical Society, the Big Bend Educational Foundation of Terlingua, Texas Dance Hall Preservation of Austin and the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame. Hundreds of books are donated as pledge drive gifts to NPR stations around Texas and Louisiana.Read their story
