Set up in 2009, Salient Books continue to be what can best be described as a very small, family-run “micro-publisher”.

Originally established to allow Wayne Osborne to publish his own works on The Great War (after he’d been given the run around by big, mainstream publishers – who are well known for such behaviour), we have since published titles by other “friends and family”. 

Our books are not often found in bookshops or in on-line stores but can be purchased direct from us.

CHRISTMAS:

To guarantee delivery before Christmas we will need to receive your order before 22 November 2023.   We do not generally keep copies of our books in stock, so orders will usually be sent direct from our printers.  This order deadline is set to enable us to tie in with their printing deadlines.

We will do our best with any orders received after this date, but can't make any promises!

WE'RE WORKING ON THESE ...
