Climbing Tree Books, UK company number 8061252, operates out of an old, run-down warehouse at the bottom of a narrow cobbled street that doesn’t twist up from the sea to the high street in Falmouth’s Old Town. This imaginary building, with its narrow corridors, creaking oak floors and high-beamed open spaces, would be the ideal setting for our company’s idiosyncratic combination of antique printing machinery and new-ish technology. Our staff – a dynamic, lively team of self-starting elderly compositors, younger typesetters, very young layout artists, bearded IT gurus, troubled-looking administrator (one) and wild-eyed editorial types in patched jackets – would feel right at home there. But it isn’t like that at all. In keeping with the mission statement*, we’re making it all up as we go along. Believe some of what you read here.
*We publish readable books by interesting people. See also The Climbing Tree Books Catalogue, which is coming soon.
