About Us

The Crowood Press was founded in 1982 by John Dennis, who remains the company's owner and Chairman. John not only commissioned the first title, Long Distance Casting, but also edited and designed it, doing the paste-up on the kitchen table. When it was published he, along with his wife Tina, spent hours packing and despatching copies to customers.

The success of Long Distance Casting, which was on the list for many years but is now sadly out of print, set in train a remarkable period of expansion, initially in the areas of sport, fishing, equestrianism and country sports, but soon developing into gardening, farming, dogs, crafts, motoring, military history and aviation. Our backlist now includes around 900 titles, with approximately 70 new books published each year.

Crowood's acknowledged classics include The Skills Of Cricket by Keith Andrew, The Handbook Of Flytying by Peter Gathercole, Food For Sport by Jane Griffin, Hooked On Bass by Alan Vaughan and Mike Ladle, All 14 Eight-Thousanders by Reinhold Messner, and Laurie Williamson's DIY books, Home Extensions and Loft Conversions .

Highlights of our list today include the acclaimed Crowood AutoClassics and Crowood Aviation Series, the highly respected Windrow & Greene military list, the instructional Skills of the Game series, our lavishly illustrated pottery and ceramics titles and our authoritative theatre books. Since 2002 we have published titles under the Farming Press imprint, and since 2003 we have published the Airlife Publishing list.

Based in Ramsbury, Wiltshire, we remain fully independent and committed to our aims of providing detailed, quality information for those with special interests.
