The Crowood Press was founded by John Dennis in 1982 with an initial list based on country interests. Since then they have grown to include a diverse range of titles for hobbyists, enthusiasts and professionals in each of our publishing areas with a backlist that includes over 1,400 titles and continue to publish some eighty new books each year.

Their books are distinguished by their talented authors who are experts in their fields. Together with a dedicated in-house team and a network of editors, designers and printers, they have built a reputation for high-quality books from practical manuals to lavish monographs.

Still a family-run business based in rural Wiltshire, they remain true to John Dennis’ founding mission: to publish high-quality books packed with detailed information on specialist interests to be enjoyed by our discerning customers.
