Publishing
We publish a large range of books linked to our exhibitions and archives. These books are published in-house as well as in partnership with other publishers.
We have a strong backlist, with total sales to date of almost 4.5 million books. Our titles range from fully illustrated art books, photography and gift books to narrative histories and children’s educational and fiction titles.
One was our most recent publication, A Nurse at the Front hit The Sunday Times bestseller list earlier this year. Sister Edith Appleton's compassionate and compelling diary of her time on the Western Front in the First World War is part of a series published in association with Simon & Schuster. It has had some great reviews, including in the Daily Mail and the Daily Express. The next book in the series will publish later in 2013.
We have a strong brand licensing programme. IWM products have recently featured in Waitrose, M&S, Fenwick and Lakeland shops. The licensing programme makes imaginative use of the richness of IWM’s collections, especially the strong art and photography holdings, and draws on the historical knowledge of IWM.
All of our books are available to buy via IWM’s Shop and most retailers.
