"We aim to bring national and international standards
to regional publishing and currently serve over four thousand retail
outlets throughout the UK with the highest
quality regional product.
We also publish on behalf
of a range of clients in a way which promotes their
mission, informs, entertains and educates.
We attempt
to reflect and focus the cultural and artistic aspects
of each region we work in as well as its heritage and life.
We are focused on innovation in regional publishing, constantly seeking to identify new products, customers and markets.
Increasingly
we are developing the international aspects of our
publishing."
Described by one reviewer as the Rolls-Royce of local books, Halsgrove’s pedigree at the heart of regional publishing is defined by the publication of titles of national quality in the regional market. For almost two decades we have built upon this reputation, taking the experience acquired through our Westcountry origins to become a major player in the regional books market, publishing books aimed at local-interest readers throughout the UK. Well over 150 titles are now published each year and the company celebrated its 1000th hardback in 2006.
It is through the successful identification of geographic areas which enjoy focused public interest together with a high quality Art List, and the addition of specialist series and many one off titles that individual booksellers and other retailers can enjoy significant sales of competitively-priced, quality hardback books which national publishers often overlook.
Halsgrove's marketing reach frequently combines with that of regional and national agencies, public bodies and private companies to promote their mission in book form.
Our experience in identifying commercially successful titles covering focused-interest subjects that readers love to buy is at the core of continued expansion. In April 2007 Halsgrove opened a new purpose built distribution centre in Wellington, Somerset.
