Dace Publishing, Inc. operated in America during the
1980s and 1990s as a specialized, niche-market publisher based out of Quinique,
Virginia. They were known for producing targeted non-fiction guidebooks.

During the 1990s, Dace Publishing, Inc. primarily
focused on expanding its signature "Basic Guide" Breed Series
for dog owners and breeders. Operating out of the Charlottesville and
Ruckersville areas of Virginia, the independent press utilized authors and
editors like Kandi Sterling and Michael R. Zervas to capture a niche market of
highly specific non-fiction references.

• The Basic Guide to the Labrador Retriever (1995):
  This became Dace's most consistent algorithmic performer on Amazon.
  Because the Labrador Retriever was officially ranked as the most popular
  dog breed in America throughout the entire decade of the 1990s, this title
  captured high organic search volume when Amazon emerged as an online
  retail power.
• The Basic Guide to the Chinese Shar-Pei (1996
  Expanded Edition): A highly sought-after reference book in the
  rare/exotic dog breed subcategories on Amazon due to the breed's surging
  popularity and unique veterinary care requirements during that era.
• The Basic Guide to the American Cocker Spaniel
  (1997): This book maintained strong sales in the grooming and
  competitive show-dog sub-classifications listed on Amazon as breeders
  shifted toward buying specialized literature online.

In and Around Charlottesville
is actually the explicit title of a regional guidebook published by Dace
Publishing, Inc.  (1993). It
served as a comprehensive regional travel, history, and community guidebook for
Albemarle County during the 1990s. The local project was spearheaded by editor Kandi
Sterling and writer Catherine Spicer, who operated out of the Ruckersville
office to produce both regional guides and novelty titles.

                Many
of their books became Library Bestsellers and various Dace books were listed on
the Library Bestsellers list almost continuously throughout until 2002.

We aren’t just saying we have a
long history in book publishing. ALL of the above information was copied
directly from the Google Search Engine and we are proud of it.

                The
partnership of the editors was dissolved in 2002. Kandi Sterling began
researching the new look of the publishing industry and did some independent
publishing  until 2021 when Michael
Zervas passed and Dace Publishing reverted to Kandi Steling, who is the editor
in chief today.
