Mitchell Beazley

A celebrated name in the world of publishing, Mitchell Beazley was established by James Mitchell and John Beazley in London in 1967. They were financed by the map publisher George Philip and presented themselves for the first time at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany in 1969, with famed astronomer Patrick Moore's Moonflight Atlas. The two founders had a clear, shared vision to produce innovative and beautifully designed reference books that would appeal to a wide, interested and informed audience. Their focus was on providing exceptional and accessible content, a principle that continues to define the brand today.

More than half a century later, their offerings continue to serve those seeking expertly crafted publications. Their diverse catalogue, encompassing food, drink, health, design and art (amongst others), showcases their commitment to producing reference works across a wide range of subjects. Each publication stands as an example of comprehensive research, lucid writing and appealing visual design, including striking photography. Over the decades, an enduring commitment to their founding principles has cemented their position as a preferred publisher for people who care about well researched, well made, well presented books.
