Derbyshire Bibliography
Publishers of Derbyshire-Related Books
This page provides an index to websites of publishers who are offering
Derbyshire-related historical material for purchase, and supersedes direct
linking to their websites from my pages. This enables me to provide further
information about them, such as any special access conditions or
recommendations which may assist you in finding the information you are
looking for. It also makes it easier for me to maintain potentially broken
links, in having them all in one place.
If a publisher you have an interest in isn't mentioned in this list, or if
the website is unavailable, might I suggest using your favourite search
engine, using the name of the publisher followed by ‘publishing’
in quotes - eg “Acme Publishing” as your search term.
Other sites may be able to provide a contact address or telephone number, or
to provide other recommendations. Or alternatively there's the second-hand
market place, as chances are that much of the material reviewed on
these pages will now be out of print.
