Welcome to Coach House
Publications
Coach House Publications is the leading independent publishing house based on the Isle of Wight. We specialise in books by island authors and artists, especially on Isle of Wight topics, and are always looking for new ideas. Look for the Island Author logo
throughout the website that signifies that this is a book by an Isle of Wight author or artist.
Artistic Community
The Isle of Wight is a unique community with a population of 138,000. Its proximity to London and the South East of England make it very attractive to those who seek a slower and more relaxed life style in beautiful surroundings, without the need to feel remote and cut off from society. The island has always been prosperous and the influx of creative people from the mainland has enhanced the extensive island artistic community.
Browse
On this website you can browse our list of Isle of Wight books, get News of our latest and forthcoming titles, or view our Nautical or Children’s books. One of our most prolific Island authors is Lynn New, whose caring, tender and often humorous verse has proved an inspiration to many. Her most popular themes have been reproduced as greetings cards and by following the Lynn New link you will find a selection of these too.
Islands around the world
Our interest in islands has led us to publish books on the islands of the Atlantic including the Falklands, South Georgia, St Helena and Ascension Island. You will find these titles by following the Wild Isles link above.
