I thought I'd start a post on favorite/interesting publishers who create materials for language learners as well as well-liked series. It's always cool to find a series of books or publisher that makes interesting content that you haven't heard of.
Like a lot of people here, I think Routledge and has some cool stuff: like the Colloquial series (Some are better than others), their intermediate readers, and their Grammar in Context series.
Also Penguin Random house has quite a few popular books, as well as some cool finds, like: Segundo Compendio Ilustrado y Deleitoso de Todo lo que Siempre Quiso Saber de la Lengua Castellana, How to Read Classical Tibetan (I'm just surprised that they have this!), A Latin translation of Winnie the Pooh, and one of the most popular Russian textbooks: The New Penguin Russian Course.
I also love to look at University publishers, as they tend to be reliable, as their resources are often used by students of that school (and others) for that school's curriculum and teaching goals (Like the University of Hawaii Press's series Integrated Korean). Also, they sometimes have language-learning books that focus on specific academic themes, like Yale University Press's Advanced Russian through History. Also, when it comes to languages with fewer resources, university presses can be godsends, as is the case with University of Nevada Press and their Basque series Aurrera! which is one of the few textbooks in English on the Basque language (though there are many more in Basque and a few in french, due to Basque country being located in those parts).
I went off on a bit of a tangent, but please send your comments about your favorite publishers, books, series' etc. Especially if you know of some publishers that aren't well known or some series that are interesting/helpful.
