Wordsworth Editions Ltd Forlag
Wordsworth Editions LTD blev grundlagt i 1987, men opnåede for alvor sin berømmelse med lanceringen af £1 Classic paperbacks i 1992, en revolutionerende idé fra den nu afdøde Michael Trayler. Dette initiativ gjorde det muligt at tilbyde klassiske værker til en brøkdel af prisen, hvilket gjorde dem yderst attraktive for litteraturelskere.
Forlaget fortsætter med at fejre vækst og innovation, samtidig med at de holder fokus på kvalitet, bæredygtighed og tilgængelighed.
Wordsworth er kendt for sine serier, der hver har et unikt visuelt udtryk. Wordsworth Classics er deres mest kendte serie med over 200 prisvenlige paperbacks, ofte inklusive faglige introduktioner. Wordsworth Collector's Editions tilbyder smukt designede hardbacks med stoflignende omslag og folie-detaljer, og inkluderer populære titler som "Jane Eyre" og "Pride and Prejudice". Children's Classics henvender sig til det yngre publikum med værker som "Alice in Wonderland". Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural specialiserer sig i gyser- og mysteriefortællinger.
