FUTURE TITLE NEWS

BLUE GUIDES COVERAGE OF THE GREEK ISLANDS

We have received a lot of queries about our planned coverage of the Greek Islands.  Previously there was some limited coverage of the islands in the main Blue Guide Greece, as well as separate titles Blue Guide Rhodes and the Dodecanese and Blue Guide Crete. Our Blue Guide Greece the Mainland (2006) ended the practice of including islands with the mainland and our author and editorial board member Professor Nigel McGilchrist has been working on Greek Islands Blue Guides ever since.  As you can imagine, given the amount of ground (and sea!) to be covered in full Blue Guides depth this is an enormous amount of work.  The result, the first edition of Blue Guide the Aegean Islands, will be published mid 2010.

A new and fully updated and re-written edition of Blue Guide Crete by archaeologist Paola Pugsley will come out in early 2010.

BLUE GUIDES COVERAGE OF ITALY

In autumn 2009 we published two titles in our new Blue Guide Concise series: Blue Guide Concise Rome and Blue Guide Concise Italy; as well as a new edition of Blue Guide Tuscany. In 2008 we published the first edition of Blue Guide Central Italy which completed our coverage of mainland Italy and Sicily in the new format.  Inevitably there is some overlap: Central Italy includes the Marche region (which is covered in a separate title: Blue Guide the Marche and San Marino), and of course dulpicates, in abbreviated form, some of the material in Blue Guide Rome and Blue Guide Florence.

We have also just published Blue Guide Literary Companion Venice, the first in our series of pocket anthologies.  Rome will follow.

OTHER FUTURE TITLES

If you have repeated queries about out of print titles or other feedback or thoughts that could help us plan our future publication schedule do not hesitate to tell us.  As a small publisher we cannot carry out extensive market research, we rely on feedback from the trade and readers to determine where we will focus our resources in the years to come.
