For millions across the Midwest and beyond, Family Video was more than a place to rent movies. It was a Friday-night tradition, a community hub, and a business built on family values.

That’s exactly what Keith Hoogland set out to capture in Family Video: The Story of America’s First Video Chain and the Family Who Built It.

In this deeply personal family memoir, Keith shares the story behind the brand—and the values that helped his family grow it from a single warehouse into more than 800 locations.

To preserve this legacy for generations to come, Keith partnered with Jenkins Group to create a beautifully produced hardcover, complete with a custom design, dust jacket, and foil-stamped spine.

Kim Gravel, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and television personality, imagined a story that would become part of a family’s holiday traditions. A book to be shared, cherished, and read together each Christmas. That idea became Maribelle and the Manger, a beautifully illustrated children’s book filled with seasonal warmth and wonder.

To bring this vision to life, Kim partnered with illustrator Amanda Lenz and Jenkins Group for a full-service publishing journey. With their expertise, Kim’s story became a polished, professional book printed in 10,000 high-quality copies and designed to be enjoyed year after year.

You’ve helped people succeed countless times. You have methods, strategies, or ideas that consistently work—but only a fraction of your audience sees them.

That’s why John Baker wrote Ready Thinking. His clients kept asking the same questions and struggled with change. Instead of giving another talk, he created a book with techniques and worksheets to make a real, lasting impact.

Thousands of his clients read and applied these techniques, and their teams and organizations thrived.

A book isn’t just a product. It’s proof that you know your stuff and a way to build authority, trust, and influence long after you leave the room.

If there’s a method or message you keep sharing, maybe it’s your time to write a book. You could leave a legacy like John.

"I had a great experience with Jenkins Group. Never having worked on a commemorative book, they guided me every step of the way. They truly listen and try to match you with a ghostwriter who is familiar with your industry or has experience with writing about your ideas. I really liked having one point of contact throughout the entire process. We would discuss our ideas and they offer incite based on their knowledge of what others have done for similar projects. Additionally, their design team is extremely talented and easy to work with. I was blown away by the final product despite seeing it electronically, nothing prepared me for how amazing the book was in print. I highly recommend Jenkins Group!"

"Over the 42 years we've been in business, I have worked with several publishers. They have all been helpful to one degree or another.
