Our main activity over the past fifteen years has been in curating exhibitions and preparing their catalogues, while earlier publishing projects undertaken include John Richardson's A Life of Picasso (vols.1, 1991; 2, 1996; 3, 2007) for Random House/Knopf, New York, and a group of international publishers – of which McCully is collaborating author, while picture editing, design and typesetting for vols. 1 and 2 were undertaken by Raeburn – and René Magritte: catalogue raisonné (5 vols. published 1992-97) for the Menil Foundation, Houston, and Mercatorfonds, Antwerp – of which Raeburn was a consultant editor and co-author of two volumes as well as designing the catalogue and handling the typesetting and pre-production work.

Cacklegoose Press has also published a number of books under its own imprint, Picasso: A Private Collection, written by Marilyn McCully; The Green Frog Service (in association with the State Hermitage, St Petersburg), co-edited by Michael Raeburn with Andrew Nurnberg and Ludmila Voronikhina; Measure Without Measure: The Art of Linda Karshan by Marilyn McCully; Paul Feiler: Connections and Paul Feiler: Elusive Space (in association with the Redfern Gallery, London); Ice: The Worlds of the Antarctic and the Arctic by Charles C. Kingsley and Picasso in Exile: Memories of Spain by Marilyn McCully .

Because of the complex nature of most of the publications produced by the Press, the majority of tasks are undertaken personally by Raeburn and McCully, but we also employ highly qualified designers, editors, translators, picture researchers, typesetters and production managers when they are called for. We have no plans for any major expansion of our business but want to use our special skills and experience to ensure that the publications we undertake maintain a consistently high quality in editing, design and production and that they can be produced within the constraints of cost and timing required by our customers.
