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 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.
