Palawan Press
Palawan Press publishes books of unsurpassed quality – in design, binding, illustration and authorship – of interest to lovers of beautiful things. All of Palawan’s books are produced to the highest possible production standards, and no effort or expense is spared to ensure that these standards are met. Palawan uses only the finest printers and binders in the UK, Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Production materials are always of the best quality, and no detail is overlooked, from the construction of the slipcases to the colour of the ribbon markers. James Knight, Group Head of Bonhams motoring department comments: "In my opinion, the Palawan books are the benchmark to which other publishers aspire. The quality of production is exemplary. There are plenty of motoring books containing nice photographs but it is Palawan's attention to detail that elevates their publications to a new level entirely. The choice of editions; the format; the art direction, informative content and design - even the choice of paper stock - is carefully considered. The brief from management comes across as, "produce the best book you can, let's not worry about margins....". With such a philanthropic view, this is tremendous news for motoring enthusiasts. They are instant collectors' items and rarely come to market for two very good reasons - limited supply and a reluctance to sell. When they are offered at our sales we have no shortage of bidders competing against one another to secure a copy."
