Our aim is simple - to publish books that last. We are committed to good writing that is properly edited and elegantly typeset, then printed on high-quality paper with a sewn binding to guarantee it a long life.
A book should be an attractive object in its own right, a pleasure to hold and to behold. Since 2002, all our covers, and now our bookmarks, have been created by Pentagram, one of the world's leading design practices, because we believe that whether a book deals with cookery or civil war, foreign travel or historical theory, its design and production should be of the very best.
