The New Random House Struik Website is LIVE

by Stephen Johnson on Mar 4th, 2010

Random House Struik is pleased to invite you to browse the “beta” version of our brand-new website at www.randomstruik.co.za.

The new homepage has been some time in the making, but we hope you’ll agree that it’s been worth the wait. Features include a bright and beautiful books catalogue, a competitions section, comprehensive notices of RHS’s upcoming events, robust social media components and much more.

As you browse the site, please bear in mind that we’re still fleshing it out with book and author information, and that some features remain in test phase. We’re very excited about sharing it with you and hope you like what you see!

One item that you won’t find on the new homepage is the Oshun Books imprint. After taking a long, hard look at the overall Random House Struik publishing strategy, we took the extremely difficult decision to discontinue the imprint, and merge Oshun books into our leading publishing brand, Zebra Press. (On BOOK SA, the Oshun blog will soon be merged into the Zebra blog.) Current Oshun titles will continue to be sold as such, but future publications that would have appeared in the Oshun stable will now be released via Zebra Press. Random House Struik would like to extend its gratitude to all who worked on the Oshun imprint.

The debut of www.randomstruik.co.za represents a new chapter in the story of an African publishing powerhouse. We look forward to bringing you the best, most engaging, most informative reads via our five imprints, Struik Lifestyle, Struik Nature, Struik Travel and Heritage, Zebra Press and Umuzi, in 2010 and beyond!
