The Crowood Press was founded by John Dennis in 1982 with an initial list based on country interests. Since then we have grown to include a diverse range of titles for hobbyists, enthusiasts and professionals in each of our publishing areas. We are proud to boast a backlist that includes over 1,400 titles, including many bestsellers such as The Artist Blacksmith, Linocut for Artists and Designers and Craft Cider Making. We continue to publish some eighty new books each year. Our books are distinguished by their talented authors who we are proud to represent, and who are experts in their fields. Together with a dedicated in-house team and a network of editors, designers and printers, we have built a reputation for high-quality books from practical manuals to lavish monographs.
