Gray's Publishing Limited (Sidney, B.C.)

Gray's Publishing Ltd. was established in 1962 in Sidney, B.C., by Gray Campbell, who moved to Sidney from the Prairies in the late 1950s. It sought to reach the regional Canadian market and publish books of particular interest to western Canadians. Gray's published some 70 titles in all, including George Clutesi's "Potlatch" and "Son of Raven, Son of Deer"; S.W. Jackman's "Portraits of the Premiers"; and histories of the B.C. fishing industry and gold rush days, as well as textbooks on mathematics. In 1983, Gray Campbell sold the company to Gordon Cooper, who retained the name Gray's Publishing. The company went out of business in 1984.
