| New World Library is an American publisher of books for adults and children. The press focuses on publishing New Age books concerning the mind, the body and the spirit. The company is located in Novato, California and has 16 employees. In 1977, Marc Allen and his girlfriend at the time, Shakti Gawain, self-published hand-stapled booklets under the name Whatever Publishing; they consider this to be the founding of the press. Total sales in 1977 were $800. Their first three books were written by Marc Allen. Their fourth, Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization, in December 1978, became an international bestseller. The success of Gawain's book launched the new company as a source of books for the creative and New Age communities. In the mid 1980s, they changed their name from "Whatever Publishing" to "New World Library". Gawain also founded Nataraj Publishing as a division of New World Library. In 2000, New World Library entered into a joint venture with H J Kramer, the publisher of Dan Millman, Sanaya Roman, and John Robbins's Diet for a New America.
