Nonsuch Ireland Rebrands As The History Press, Ireland

The THP Ireland Tweet

The History Press, Ireland’s Tweet

Nonsuch Ireland started life in 2005 as an imprint of Alan Sutton’s UK based NPI Media Group. Throughout the collapse of NPI (read this Bookseller story for more) and the emergence of The History Press, Nonsuch has remained stable under the leadership of Ronan Colgan.

However, in a Tweet from their Twitter account, Nonsuch announced the full re-brand to The, History Press Ireland along with a change of web address. The new site also carries the following message:

Nonsuch Ireland has become THP Ireland. As always, we aim to bring you the finest in Irish non-fiction and local history writing. Our wide range of titles covers history, maritime and military, sport and photography. THP Ireland is a member of Publishing Ireland, the Irish Publishing Association. All THP Ireland titles currently offer free shipping throughout the world.

(Full Disclosure: in what feels like another time, Eoin Purcell was one of three founding commissioning editors at Nonsuch Ireland)

A Successful Irish Blog-To-Book

The Beaut.ie Guide To Gorgeous

The Beaut.ie Guide To Gorgeous

There have been a few efforts to translate success online into success in print in Ireland. The greatest and most long lasting of these has obviously been the Overheard in Dublin series of books and calendars.

But since this success, there has been little else. While bloggers have produced decent books, they have failed to set the charts alight. Until this year that is.

The Beaut.ie Guide to Gorgeous sold over 5500 copies in 2009 putting it firmly in the Top 20 Irish published books of the year (in fact in the Top Ten according to some measures). The blog is work of sisters, Kirstie and Aisling and Aisling is the author of the book. Beaut.ie is one of Ireland Top Blogs (8 according to Taint.org Ranking of Irish Blogs).
