about us

Thin Book Publishing Co. was founded in 1997 to create ‘just in time’ cutting edge knowledge for our organizational clients. The early success of The Thin Book of® Appreciative Inquiry, with sales now in excess of 150,000 copies, inspired us to dedicate ourselves to creating practical ‘thin books’ as a way to help organizational members understand how organizations can become more successful.

Our second book, the award-winning ‘thick’ book, Lessons from the Field: Applying Appreciative Inquiry, was published in 1998. Thin Book Publishing currently has four books in print with several new releases planned for early 2007. 

During 2006, we’ve expanded our knowledge distribution through the new web-based Organization Trust & Collaboration Assessment and Team Trust & Collaboration Assessment; as well as a suite of Webinars. The Webinars are an efficient and cost effective way to deliver cutting edge information to groups. We continue to dedicate ourselves to innovation and knowledge sharing.
