2008
Black Elk Speaks, as told to John Neihardt, and Hudson Valley Voyage were two of the first books to be published by Excelsior Editions.
2009
Go, Tell Michelle was edited, designed, and printed on an accelerated schedule in early January, 2009 in order to be available in time for the Presidential Inauguration. The book was reviewed by Kam Williams for the African American Literature Book Club and he concluded:
An impressive compendium of eloquent messages which together paint a touching tapestry reflecting the depth of sisters’ emotional investment in our new First Lady.

Some examples of offerings from 2010 include Castles of New York, a coffee table book replete with photos and text of nearly 30 castles throughout New York state; "Cooking with Chef Silvo", which offers Italian recipes from Campania; and "Arsenic and Clam Chowder", a tale of murder in Gilded Age New York.
