Laurence King Publishing publishes books right across the creative arts - on art, architecture, design, graphic design, fashion, film, photography, and craft. The books are authoritatively written, beautifully designed and produced, and provide information which the reader needs, whether as a student of art history or design, or as a professional architect or designer, or as an interested general reader.

Laurence King Publishing was launched in 1991. In its first season, Laurence King published A World History of Art by Hugh Honour and John Fleming. Still at the core of our list, this book remains unrivalled in the scope, elegance and informativeness of its text, and its unparalleled range of illustrations.

Since 1991 we have published such major books as A History of Western Architecture by David Watkin, The End of Print by David Carson and Lewis Blackwell, Photography: A Cultural History by Mary Warner Marien, Atlas of World Art edited by John Onians, and The Design Encyclopedia by Mel Byars, as well as many books on the latest developments in design, graphics, interior design and architecture. In 2005, we will be launching the first four volumes of the Portfolio series of books for students of the creative arts with Fashion Design, Photography, Interior Design and Type and Typography. We are proud of our reputation for producing books that are known for their innovation, erudition and quality.

Laurence King Publishing grew out of the book packaging company, Calmann and King, which was started in 1976.
