Established in 1997 in Wigtown Scotland’s National
Booktown, trading as Book-Corner, we specialised in selling books related to our
passions of Natural History, conservation and gardening. During the following
years we branched out into publishing, again concentrating on our main areas of
interest. The publishing side began to take over from the retail bookshop side,
and in 2004 we sold the shop to concentrate on the publishing. Now based in
Lincolnshire, we are currently concentrating on building up our Wildlife Art
Series.
Wildlife Art Series W.A.S.
Within this series we aim to share with our readers the
width and quality of the best contemporary wildlife artists. We provide the
artists with a series of blank pages on which to create. In most of our titles
the artist performs the dual roles of both artist and author. This approach
gives the reader a greater understanding of the artist’s source of inspiration
and the techniques selected. Where appropriate we have included in the books
preparatory field sketches to help illustrate further the depth of the subject.
These elements are then skilfully brought together to form an exciting
exhibition of the artists work.
Excluding a small number of
shared design features on the dust jackets, the artists are given total freedom
of content and design. In this way we feel that the resultant book is a true
representation of the artists work, and a joy to behold.
