Scrub Hill Press

In July 1990, Dr. John David Gordon started his OB/GYN internship at Stanford University Medical Center. As the year progressed, Dr. Gordon began formulating the idea for a handbook that would aid in the transition from medical school to residency. With the support of Dr. Jan Rydfors (a chief resident at the time), the two created a small handbook for incoming interns due to arrive in July 1991. Dr. Gordon printed just four copies on a dot matrix printer, and the rest is history. The resulting book is now known as The Little Red Book or more formally Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility.

The road to success was a bit bumpy. Although the Stanford Medical Bookstore initially played the part of publisher (as did Blackwell Scientific Publishing, briefly), by 1994 Dr. Gordon realized that starting his own medical publishing company made the most sense. At the time, however, he was a starving Fellow in Reproductive Endocrinology at UCSF. So he did what most nice young doctors do when strapped for cash - he asked his parents. With their $20,000 he started Scrub Hill Press.

The name Scrub Hill Press is a reference to the summer home that Dr. Gordon’s father, Dr. Edward T. Gordon, had built-in Chatham, MA in 1973. That home on Cape Cod was named after the scrub pines on the property and, of course, in reference to the elder Dr. Gordon’s career as a General Surgeon. Since 1994, Scrub Hill Press has been dedicated to publishing affordable, well-referenced medical handbooks. The 25th-anniversary edition (7th Edition) of the Little Red Book is a testimony to the love and support of Dr. and Mrs. Edward T. Gordon.
