JR Books is an exciting new name in general publishing. Headed by Jeremy Robson, and backed by the Quarto Publishing Group, we publish across a wide range of subjects, including the arts, history, biography, fiction, humour, lifestyle and sport, and we have a number of high profile authors.
Autumn 2007 saw the launch of our first publishing list, with a number of signings, events and launches around the country, extensive media coverage (including a number of major serializations) and excellent reviews in the press. As reported in the trade press, sales of our debut list were double the projected figure.
Our Spring-Summer 2008 list moves in a number of new directions, including current affairs, popular psychology and historical fiction, while building on areas that have already proved successful, and we are very excited about the future.
