Welcome to Saraband. We publish beautiful, well-written books and innovative digital books and apps, both for our readers here and in partnership with publishers worldwide. Many of our books are on nature and the environment, the arts, architecture, history, heritage, mythology and symbols, but we recently also entered the realm of fiction, with publication of the debut novel Making Shore (winner of the 2011 People's Book Prize). We were founded in the early 1990s, and you can read our blog here.

If you are a reader looking to purchase one of our books, they will be available from your local independent bookshop, so please support them by ordering books there. You will see more details on some of the individual book pages on this site, including of digital editions.
