The Newsletter
Real history, straight to you.
The books we publish don't always make it to bookshops. Subscribe and you'll read about them first — long before the listing goes live and long before the signed editions sell out.

What you'll get
Four reasons readers actually open it.
First look at new titles
Expect early notice on every new release — from the next Churchill volume to the occasional surprise reissue. Often with sample chapters you won't find anywhere else.
Subscriber-only drops
Signed editions, numbered runs and slipcased collector sets are announced to subscribers first. Sometimes only to subscribers.
Archive deep dives
Short, substantive pieces drawing on primary sources — a page from a diary, a scan of a ministerial memo, the context around a newly surfaced letter.
Sale heads-up
When slightly imperfect stock goes on sale or we clear warehouse overflow, subscribers see it before the site does. No scramble.
"The only newsletter I read front to back. Like sitting at the editor's desk for ten minutes a month."

What it isn't
Respect for your inbox is the whole point.
No weekly blasts
We write when there's something to say — typically once a month, never more than twice.
No tracking pixels
No read receipts, no click heatmaps. What you open is your business.
No resold lists
Your email stays with us. Not shared, not syndicated, not loaned to partners. Ever.
