Wood died in 2010.Ten Speed started with Anybody’s Bike Book which is still in print and became the book that inspired the company’s name and went on to sell more than a million copies. Legend has it that Phil stored the stock of the original edition in the bathtub of his apartment in downtown Berkeley. Ten Speed's all-time best-seller is What Color is Your Parachute? A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers by Richard N. Bolles which was first published in 1972 and as of 2009 has sold more than ten million copies and exists in 20 languages. In addition to these two books, Ten Speed has published a number of other famous titles: Moosewood Cookbook, White Trash Cooking, Why Cats Paint, Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning, Who Cut the Cheese? Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food, and Flattened Fauna. The books are usually colorfully designed and sometimes come in odd shapes to match their whimsical subjects. Ten Speed Press currently publishes 150 books a year under all of its imprints. In 1983, Ten Speed acquired Celestial Arts, a New Age book publisher. In 2002, the company acquired Crossing Press, a publisher specializing in metaphysics, alternative lifestyles, and healing.Ten Speed Press itself was bought by Random House in February 2009 and is now part of their Crown Publishing Group division.
