Lake Claremont Press recently announced that On the Job: Behind the Stars of the Chicago Police Department was the company's best-selling title of 2008. The Chicago-based publisher, celebrating its 15th year in 2009, has carved a tremendous niche as guardians of Chicago history and character.

Of the news, On the Job author Daniel P. Smith said: "That On the Job had such a successful run in 2008 is a testament to spirit and passion so many poured into this project, including Sharon Woodhouse and her staff at Lake Claremont Press. I'm honored that On the Job has been able to reach so many people and contribute to the dialog we have about our city."
