Landmark Publishing Homepage

Welcome to the new and revised Landmark Publishing website; it’s been a long time coming but I am sure you will appreciate the new look and easy to navigate pages. We have also simplified the operation of buying a book from our online secure site and you will find it much easier and quicker to use.

We have a busy publishing year planned in 2008, with new local history titles coming through later in the year and I am pleased to announce we will be having a new title from Terry Moors with photographs of the railways around Crewe in the 1980s. This follows on from his very popular North Staffordshire Railways featuring his photographs of engines and infrastructure again taken in the 80s. In April there will be two new titles for steam enthusiasts and a new paperback edition of Richard Hills’ popular ‘Drainage of the Fens’; if you look up the ‘New Titles’ page you can pre order these books now.

Our visitor guide range has gone through something of a transformation in the last year. In fact I would like to record my appreciation of all those involved in our busy studio for their efforts in designing so many books in 2007. We have a full publishing schedule in place for this year with an exciting departure from our usual Landmark Visitor Guide’s. If you go to the ‘Visitor Guides’ page and look for ‘Short Breaks in England’ I think you will be interested to see this new departure in travel guides!

As always we appreciate your comments and feedback, you will notice that there is a new and more secure method of contacting Landmark which will we hope reduce the amount of spam and phishing that goes on nowadays.

At Landmark Publishing we are always keen to hear from people who may have a manuscript or are thinking of writing a book; either history or a visitor guide.

If you have done your research and understand the type of books we publish and feel that what you have written or propose to write fits into our list; please do get in touch. Initially it might be better to submit a synopsis to the Publishing Director, this should be no longer that one side of A4 and give an outline of the subject; why you feel qualified to write upon the subject; how many words you have written and the number of photographs and illustrations you have available to support your manuscript. We always like to know what sort of market there is for a book and the number of people who might be interested in buying a book on the subject.

Please do not send any photographs or anything which you would like to be returned, we do receive quite a lot of material and cannot guarantee that it will arrive with us in the first place and we do not wish to take on the responsibility of such items on a speculative basis.

For those of you who would like to have a book published but cannot find a publisher, Landmark Publishing offer a bespoke service which offers to take control of the production process and can help with sales and distribution matters.

I am particularly keen to work with local history groups or owners of collections of old photographs. We have been developing our list of books featuring old and new photographs; called ‘Then & Now’ if you would like to know more about how we produce these books and would like to receive a sample please get in touch through the ‘Contact Us’ page.

Once again, many thanks for visiting the Landmark Publishing Website and if you are in Ashbourne please do call in!

All the best
