Blue Point Books Page

Blue Point Books is a grass-roots effort. Founded by publlishers/editors Cathy and Bruce Feldman, we could never have afforded to print our first book, Two Years Without Sleep: Working Moms Talk About Having A Baby And A Job, without the support of a very informal network of women and men who placed orders for the book when it was only a manuscript in a three-ring binder.

We are proud to report that support for the project is continuing to grow. Our second book, The Men At The Office: Working Women Talk About Working With Men, offers a fresh look at gender issues, and our third, I Work Too: Working Wives Talk About Their Dual-Career Lives, has been warmly received.

Without any real publicity besides friends telling friends, we regularly receive orders for our books from all over the country, and hundreds of companies and government agencies are distributing our books in their new parent, employee assistance, and management training programs. The books have also been used in family life education programs in schools.

We also publish other books designed to help people. One More Star In Heaven Now: A Guide To Comforting Someone Who is Grieving In Life and At Work by Ann Van Buskirk is full of useful and practical advice on what to do and say to be of comfort. Beyond Loss: A Practical Guide Through Grief to a Meaningful Life by Lilly Singer, Margaret Sirot & Susan Rodd helps people deal with the loss of a loved one. The Caring Heart by Arlene Stepputat with watercolors by Meganne Forbes encourages readers to be of service to others through beautiful words and paintings. The Black Man's Guide To Parenting: 50 Ways To Be An Effective Father has straightforward advice on how to be an effective father in today's demanding world Our newest books, Harry Says edited by Bruce Feldman offers sharp insights on being a boss.
