Bookmasters in Ashland, Ohio, is adding six distribution clients from the U.K. Both Arcturus Publishing, a trade house with a strong concentration in art instruction, children’s, history, and true crime, and Quintessentially Publishing, which focuses on high-end popular culture, have signed agreements for North American print distribution and e-books.

Bookmasters's other new print distribution clients include: House of Stratus, which publishes English literary classics; fine art press Heni Publishing and Salma Editions; Stripe Publishing, which publishes fact-filled books on popular names; and Management Briefs, which concentrates on books for small business professionals. Arcturus and House of Stratus have also signed on for POD.

“The addition of all these high quality UK publishers and their titles gives or trading partners access to materials that would otherwise be very hard to find in the U.S.,” says Larry Bennett, Bookmasters’s president of distribution services.
