Pallas Athene has been publishing attractive, intelligent books for 25 years. Our current titles are available on the Shop page.
We mainly focus on art, although we also publish books about travel, history and food – and some on other subjects simply because we like them.
Ruskin is a particular interest, and so is Venice. Our main series is the richly illustrated Lives of the Artists, which brings together accounts of great artists by their contemporaries.
Our current book on showcase is Henry Moore in Miniature, a beautifully produced catalogue accompanying the Holburne Museum’s groundbreaking retrospective of Henry Moore’s sculptures that could fit in the hand. The exhibition runs from 8 May to 8 September. It will include sculptures in stone, wood, terracotta, plaster, lead, plasticine and bronze, and span themes recurrent in his work: the reclining female figure, the mother and child, the human head, and the fallen warrior.
You can find us on social media for news about our books and for treasures found while publishing.
This website also includes books sold by our sister company, Network Books Distribution, such as titles about wine published by Vendange Press.
