Porto Press
A newly-established independent publisher aiming to publish non-fiction books for professionals, academics and interested readers across a range of subject areas including wildlife, history and the built environment.
News: We are delighted to have acquired the publishing assets of Whittles Publishing: a well-established publisher set up by Dr. Keith Whittles and based in the beautiful far north of Scotland. Whittles has a well-regarded academic and professional list with a focus on subjects particularly relevant to those working and researching within the fields of Landscape and the Built Environment. It also has a broad and lively non-fiction list which covers a variety of subjects including history, wildlife, Scottish interest and adventure. Whittles now becomes an imprint of Porto Press and its books continue to be available from retailers and via the usual website.
Distribution is via Booksource in the UK and Simon & Schuster in the US.
