Folio is an employee-owned, independent publisher that has thrilled and delighted a band of dedicated readers since 1947. Today, from their workspace in the heart of London’s vibrant Shad Thames, they continue that tradition by crafting exquisite, illustrated editions for book lovers of all ages.

They publish books that have changed the world, books that entertain us, books that blow our minds … books that have stitched themselves into who we are. Which is why every Folio book is a labour of love, expertise and, frankly, obsession.

Their team of editors, designers and artisans will do whatever it takes to give each title everything it deserves, from outstanding intellectual firepower to extraordinary craftsmanship.
