Footprint Books to close

It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of Footprint Books at the end of October, 2020. Due to sudden and serious health issues for my husband and co-director we regret that we have been forced to make the decision to close our doors. We are so very sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause, especially at a such a difficult time for everyone.

This is quite a complicated exercise as publishers choose different new partners so please find important information below.
