Imbrifex Books is a sister company to RoadTrip America. And here is the story behind the founding of the company.
My new Road Trip guide, Arizona and New Mexico: 25 Scenic Side Trips, would never have been written without the hands-on support and unfailing encouragement of Imbrifex Books. The service they provide to their authors before, during, and after the completion of a project is second-to-none, as is the quality of the books they produce. As a first time writer, I can't even imagine a better experience.
Hats off and three cheers to Mark Sedenquist and Megan Edwards for creating this wonderful publishing house! Working with Imbrifex has been (and continues to be) both an honor and a privilege. Scenic Side Trips is off to a fantastic beginning. I look forward to watching it grow!

I'd like to add my compliments and best wishes to this great new venture as I can only imagine what hard work and investment it would of taken to get this up and running and moving forwards.
Well done Mark and Megan and all those involved.
Dave.
Maybe I missed this, but can you explain the meaning or origin of the word imbrifex? My google search did not reveal anything. Congrats on your high-quality contribution to the world of publishing.

Somehow they conjured up some clouds on a cloudless day with less than 5% relative humidity. It didn't produce more than a few sprinkles on the mountain -- but it was a weather miracle. Put some joy back in the crew I was with.
