Hello and welcome to the Emerald Publishing website.

We are a publisher that mixes old-fashioned affordable publishing with modern technology to achieve a quality publication which reaches both UK bookshops and on-line outlets. We try to publish self-help books that are useful and informative, catering for the layperson, yet detailed and with greater depth.

We treat our authors well - but they have to earn their way - all our authors are professionals and experienced in their field. We do not ask our authors for payment up front (if we think the book merits publishing we take the risk of printing and distributing), we don't do vanity publishing. Our authors get better royalties than most and, unlike many, get their books to bookshops and on-line outlets.

We have streamlined our operation over the years since starting in 1991 and have developed good relationships with our printers and distributors - you will find our books in most high street locations and many places on the web including Amazon, Google books, Blackwells and W H Smith.

We pride ourselves in offering a range of titles that reflect current law and practice - our website maintains the latest revisions of all our books and where necessary are always up to date with european and UK law revisions.

Emerald Publishing bookshop offers on-line purchasing of our titles with free postage on single purchases and up to 25% discount on multiple purchases. We have, after careful consideration, signed up with Paypal to handle credit-card payments. The system is very secure and we can assure customers that we have taken care that all orders and payments from this site are private and guaranteed.
