There’s a new publisher in town with a suitcase full of the most stunningly visual books.

Big Picture Press, publishing as an imprint of Templar, “believe books should be visually intelligent, surprising and accessible to all readers of all ages, abilities and nationalities. Our books are objects to be pored over and then returned to, again and again…created by and made for the incurably curious”

I have been staring at my screen for most the evening pouring over the PDFs of some of the titles and was left in no doubt that there are some exciting books heading this way.

All the books have a high degree of style and sophistication which I imagine will be enjoyed by all the family.

The book I was most attracted to was ‘The Goods by McSweeney’s’ The book is crammed with “comics, puzzles and other diversions, created by a constellation of children’s books’ brightest stars”. I personally liked the way the pages are tightly packed with lots to do and reminded me of the kids supplement in the weekend paper when I was a child (although I suspect this will be of much higher quality). This is one I want for myself am not sure I will be willing to share.

I imagine Bryn would find ‘Maps by Aleksandra and Daniel Mizielinski’ fascinating, “52 highly illustrated maps, full of details and curiosities” its bound to spark lots of questions. For a closer look at the world, ‘Walk this World by Lotta Nieminen’ provides beautiful street scenes of different cities and with 80 flaps to open, Bryn will have competition from his sister for this one.

So if you are looking for something a little different I’d recommend taking a look at what Big Picture Press has to offer
