Orange, CA, April 16, 2007 – The Action Pursuit Group (APG), an operating company of Apprise Enthusiast Media LLC, today announced the launch as a bi-monthly of Cottages & Bungalows, a shelter magazine that fully and directly services the needs of millions of owners of small, historic homes—one of America’s largest, although vastly ignored, home segments. The launch follows the highly successful premiere issue of Cottages & Bungalows in October 2006. The “cottage and bungalow” era of American domestic architecture not only took on a wide variety of visually interesting designs, but more homes were built in the U.S. between 1880 and 1950 than had been built previously in the nation’s history, according to architectural history expert Robert Schweitzer. “Cottages & Bungalows provides a fresh look at these beloved smaller homes,” says Editor Hillary Black. “We feature homes that many of us either grew up in, live in, or simply love for the cozy, retro feel and timeless, well-crafted style. Cottages & Bungalows overflows with ideas for the millions of Americans who are passionate members of this underserved home segment.” “By addressing the needs of so many smaller-home owners – many of whom may not have recognized that they, too, lived in an historic home – we believe that Cottages & Bungalows will expand the audience for our shelter magazines and provide a perfect complement to our Romantic Homes and Victorian Homes titles,” says Craig Nickerson, CEO of Action Pursuit Group. “This launch also demonstrates APG’s commitment to expanding our market share through new print and digital products and line extensions.”
