HOBNOB PRESS

Hobnob Press

is a publisher of books chiefly about Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset and Gloucestershire, owned and run by local historian Dr John Chandler (assisted since 2023 by historian Dr Louise Ryland-Epton) . In its present form Hobnob Press has been publishing since 2001, although its origins go back to 1983.

On these webpages you will find details of all Hobnob titles currently available, books produced by Hobnob Press for other organisations and individuals, information for prospective authors, and an ISBN listing of all titles ever published by Hobnob Press. You can order books by clicking on the orange category buttons on this homepage and then on the titles you require, or from the SHOP page. You can also use the contact form to ask about out-of-print books or any other aspect of Hobnob Press and this website.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, Hobnob has nothing to do with biscuits ― it took its title (in 1982, long before McVities began using the name) from that of the hobby horse that accompanied Salisbury’s processional giant, now in Salisbury Museum.
