About Glasshouse Books
Glasshouse books has a simple mission statement:
To publish books for people who don’t read.
Certainly this is open to interpretation. To clarify it means we’re trying to reach people who can read, but choose not to read books, be it because they don’t have the time, or they don’t know what to read, or we’re simply not publishing books to cater to their tastes.
Each of our titles focusses on a different area of the market, from helping young people make their first steps into professional life, to celebrating the richness and diversity of London. Uniquely we commission every title we publish.
As part of our remit to reach more readers, we make versions of our titles available to read exclusively on our website:
glasshousebooks.co.uk
In 2010, we published 5 titles, each one beautifully designed, printed to respect the environment and featuring many exciting debuts.
Books for me, you, everyone.
Our titles: 100, Boys & Girls, Bloody Vampires, 33 East and 33 West
