Wordsworth Books - Collector's Edition

Wordsworth Editions was established in 1987, but it was the launch in 1992 of the £1 Classic paperback, the brainchild of the late Michael Trayler, that put us in spotlight. This was back in the days before book prices could be discounted so the fact that we could offer titles at a fraction of the cost of existing editions caused something of a sensation, and made them irresistible to lovers of classic literature.

The production of printed books inevitably has some environmental impact, but we work with our printers, Clays Ltd, to minimise this. Some publishers print their books in other parts of the world to save money, and transport them back to this country, but all of our books are printed in the U.K. (Suffolk, to be precise) on FSC certified paper.
