"Local Literature"
by Rick Kogan
There really is a Lake Claremont. It is in Western Australia, about as far from Chicago as one can get. But Lake Claremont Press has nothing to do with Australia and everything to do with Chicago.

"Lit 50 - Who Really Books in Chicago"
50) Sharon Woodhouse
With the sagging economy breathing down everyone's neck, the last few years haven't been especially prosperous for those in the business of putting out books. One assumes the indie presses would absorb the biggest hit, but that's where Sharon Woodhouse and Lake Claremont Press would prove you wrong. Thanks in large part to Chicago's Midway Airport: The First Seventy-Five Years and A Cook's Guide to Chicago, Lake Claremont continued swimming while others sank. And with eight books slated for release in the next three months, Woodhouse and Co. won't need life preservers anytime soon.
