About Us
Our History
When the first two books authored by Charles P. "Pat" McKeague were published, the art department needed a cover design and went to a local New York City hardware store. They purchased X, Y and Z wood address blocks, brought them back and photographed them. This has been a trademark of ours ever since, and has appeared on the covers of McKeague books for years.
Our Philosophy
High-quality textbooks don't necessarily have to come with high prices.
XYZ Textbooks was founded by Pat McKeague in order to provide affordable textbooks to college students. We hope that by adopting these textbooks, instructors will help us put downward pressure on a textbook market where prices seem to be spiraling out of control.
