Three Continents Press	Donald Herdeck established Three Continents Press in 1971, focusing on new works or works in translation from Africa, America, and the Caribbean. By 1993 Herdeck was publishing works by writers living and writing in five continents. Herdeck frequently made co-publishing arrangements with Heinemann Educational Books and later with a portion of Longman's Drumbeat Series. Poor health prompted Herdeck to sell 167 of his titles to Lynne Rienner, a Colorado publisher, in August 1996. He retained rights to 60 titles and marketed these, and several additional contract commitments, under the new company name of Passeggiata Press. Herdeck died in 2005, and the last book bearing the Passeggiata Press imprint was published by his widow Margaret in 2007.	2025
