Academic eBook publisher Holcombe Publishing has released its first publication, a book identifying how social systems shape current society. Holcombe Publishing aims to provide academic books at affordable prices, as well as providing a platform for academic authors to distribute and sell their work.

Colin Asquith, Holcombe Publishing’s Technical Director, said: “Holcombe Publishing was created with the aim of creating academic books which are both high quality and affordable. Many current academic books are expensive due to high publishing costs for low volumes, so starting with an eBook avoids us keeping our books out of the hands of interested readers.

You can find out more about the company and its first book, Systems, not People, Make Society Happen, by Michael King, here.
