Welcome

READ OUR NEW EDITION

Among our other topics, we have three themes running in Booklaunch 13: linguistics, cultural identity and imperial history. 

     Simon Prentis takes issue with Noam Chomsky and Lyle Campbell blurs the line between linguistics and sociology.

     Terri Givens explores liberalism's deafness to the black voice, David Stephenson looks at the rise of a Welsh medieval family and Duncan Clarke reassesses Rhodesians.

     And in a four-page pull-out, Harry Lott remembers life as a British engineer with imperial access between 1907 and 1933.

SHOWCASE YOUR BOOK

Are you a publisher? An author? 

Advertising a book in Booklaunch is cost-effective. We mail to almost every UK subscriber of the Spectator and New Statesman, giving us the largest reach of any books magazine in the UK. 

     We offer full pages at less than most like-minded magazines sell quarter pages. We also offer a small amount of space for other advertising.

BECOME A CO-PUBLISHER

If your interests are as polymathic as those of Benjamin Franklin (pictured here), then alongside everything else you do, you'll want to be a co-publisher.

     We can help. We're looking for patrons to sponsor books and advise on new titles. We've got some great new titles lined up and ready to go, with more being prepared for publication in our huge editorial factory.

     To see what other books we've published so far, jump from here to EnvelopeBooks, which we launched during Lockdown. 

HOW TO SUBSCRIBE

Booklaunch comes out quarterly in a print-run of over 50,000 copies. It's readable online, but we think the print version is the more enjoyable experience.

     Page design is beautiful, paper quality is high and the ink won't come off on your hands.

     We're keeping our subscription price as low as it can possibly be: just £10 for UK posting and £21 for anywhere overseas.
