Welcome To Book Palace Books

Our intention at Book Palace Books is to publish books that we ourselves are proud to put on our own bookshelves. Consequently we take enormous care in all aspects of pre-production, scanning, printing and binding to produce the very best books possible.

We will not compromise on production values and we would rather spend more time to produce a high production standard than rush a release of a book that may be imperfect. We aim to publish the definitive edition of each subject and artist book. If we find we cannot meet our own exacting standards on a particular book, then we will not publish it. Our primary aim is to publish books that collectors will treasure and want to keep.


See Book Palace for our complete book inventory and Illustration Art Gallery for our wonderful and unique collection of illustration art and prints.

illustrators - the finest European Illustrators of the 20th Century

a new art quarterly devoted to the finest European Illustrators of the 20th Century

first issue Spring 2012 - more details, including ordering, coming soon!

Illustrators is all about some of the most iconic images ever to see print. In the pages of Illustrators you will read about some of the most inspired artists to commit their art to print. These are the people who with brush, pen and pencil were capable of transporting their audiences to the farthest reach of their imaginations.

The audiences that many of these artists were catering for were international, their work was collected and admired by readers the length and breadth of Europe and the US. But with the passing of years and the ascendancy of new media, much of this brilliant and inspirational work is falling from the collective conscious.

Illustrators will remedy that by presenting you with a publication that four times a year will guide you through the stories behind these artists, the publishers that commissioned them, the agents that promoted them, the friends and partners that posed for them and the crazy stuff such as the artist who created his incredible covers in an unfurnished bedsit with a parrot for company.

All this and more will be revealed in each edition of Illustrators.

Our first issue debuts with a feature on Denis McLoughlin and an interview with the legendary Ian Kennedy looking back on his sixty two years in the business,
