Hello and welcome to our website. We're based in Logaston, which is a hamlet in north Herefordshire, close to the border between England and Wales, and we publish books about the history, archaeology, architecture and people of this area of Britain, including Herefordshire, Shropshire and the Welsh Marches, South Wales, Worcestershire and the Black Country, and Gloucestershire. The first Logaston Press book was published in 1985 and since then we                                                                       have produced more than 200 books, over 100 titles at present in print. Here you'll find details of our new autumn titles, titles published in spring and summer 2009, and the rest of our catalogue arranged by region. If you'd like us to send you a printed catalogue, want to order a book, or have any questions, please contact us by phone, letter or email (for contact details click here).
       We've had several enquiries recently from overseas customers asking whether they can order from us direct. The answer is yes, and we can arrange payment by Paypal. Just send us an email (click here) letting us know which book or books you'd like, and we'll organise arrangements for payment via your debit or credit card, and send your order to you. As for postage charges, we will work out the cost of delivery by air or surface mail (whichever you prefer) and charge that, less the cost of UK postage (as we don't charge for deliveries within the UK).

The following books have been launched in November 2009:
