Using our secure payment system, we are able to take orders for titles on behalf of our clients and can distribute books directly from our warehouse.

Case Studies

Leeds Museums and Galleries

Jeremy Mills Publishing recently published Turner and Leeds: Image of Industry on behalf of Leeds Museums and Galleries. The project involved a large amount of picture research, and the 145 images in the book were located and the rights managed by a member of our team. By undertaking this work, we were able to solve any rights issues and missing images on behalf of our client. Our graphic design team has also worked on the book, ensuring that each image matches the original as closely as possible and creating a design and layout for the book, as well as a cover design. The book was also proofread by an editor, in order to ensure that there were no errors in the work. The editorial, picture research and book design work has been fully project managed in-house by a member of our publishing team. Final copies of the book were printed and bound in West Yorkshire.

University College Durham Trust

Jeremy Mills Publishing has worked on the design, publication and printing of Durham Castle: Fortress, Palace, College by Richard Brickstock. Published to fund projects for the students of University College, the book was worked on by our editorial and graphic design teams, and was project managed in-house. An editor was assigned to the book, and worked closely with the author in order to produce an informative but interesting text, and the index was created by our professional indexer. The design and typesetting work was done by our graphic design team, who worked on every image in the book individually to ensure that they were of the best quality. Our designers also worked with the client to help decide which images to include and to share ideas on layout and the overall design of the book. This led to a sumptuously illustrated publication that tells the full story of the Castle, and is available in both paperback and hardback editions.

We are able to produce publications in a variety of page sizes (standard and otherwise) and page extents. Books can be bound in paperback or hardback, or special editions (leather or cloth bound hardbacks). Book printing can be carried out in full colour, black and white or both, and we can also print in two colours if preferred. The paper stocks we offer are varied, and we are happy to match any paper stocks or finishes you may have seen elsewhere. We can produce books in all quantities from single copies to thousands.

We also produce and publish books under our own imprints: Jeremy Mills Publishing, Northern Heritage Publications, Northern Arts Publications and Hexagon Press. If you are an author and would like to find out more about submitting your book for publication, please click here.

The Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers

In 2008 Jeremy Mills Publishing designed and produced Men of Metal: A History of the Armourers and Brasiers of the City of London. The book was written by Elizabeth Glover and was designed by our in-house graphic design team. A project manager was assigned to the book to look after schedules and the budget, and a member of our publishing team researched some of the images required for the book, locating them and managing the rights to them. Our design team then worked on the layout of the book, and once this was ready work began on the index. The index was compiled by the author, then typeset and rechecked by an in-house indexer. The book was then printed and bound.

The result was a beautifully illustrated hardback book, and Jeremy Mills Publishing then produced a number of special editions of the same title. The special books were hand bound in leather, given marbled endpapers and then the title of the book was foil blocked in gold upon the spine and front of the publication. A slipcase was then created for the book, and was hand bound in cloth with the same gold lettering foil blocked on to the spine, making the book an ideal presentation gift. Both editions of the book were finished with ribbon markers and head and tail bands. Find out more about printing and binding by clicking here.

Selwyn College, Cambridge

For Selwyn College, Cambridge, we designed, edited, printed and published Selwyn Celebrated 1882–2007, a commemorative book to celebrate 125 years of the college. Our in-house graphic design team designed and laid out every page, whilst an editor proofread the text. The book was also assigned a project manager, who kept track of the schedule and the budget of the book, as well as ensuring that the college was pleased with the results. A special edition of the book was also published that was hand-bound in high-quality cloth, with marbled endpapers, a ribbon marker and a luxurious slipcase, upon which the college crest was foil blocked in gold – a truly special and original publication.

Leeds College of Art and Design

Jeremy Mills Publishing worked with Leeds College of Art and Design to produce Design Pedagogy Research: Leeds 2007, a set of conference proceedings from the college. The project was managed in-house and the text proofread by a member of our editorial staff. The cover and interior layout of the book was then designed in collaboration with the client, who wanted the title to have a particular feel. The book was then printed and bound at our associate printing company in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
