Palatino Books
Books About Journalism
Welcome to Palatino Books
Palatino is a publisher primarily of books about journalism – books by journalists and about newspapers.
The booklist includes titles that everybody in the inky trade, or thinking about joining it, or simply interested in the ‘mysteries’ of newspapers, should read, and enjoy.
About Us
Palatino Books was created by Revel Barker a retired Fleet Street Journalist to publish books about the newspaper trade and to restore some deserving classic titles that had been out of print. The booklist was later extended to include books written by journalists on topics that had nothing to do with newspapers but were deemed a great read so had to be published to reach a wider audience.

Journalists (surprisingly?) don't have a book-buying culture: they have been used to picking them up in the office or blagging them from a publisher. So, if you know anybody who is, or was, one, you could buy them a book for Christmas, or for their birthday.
But if you are, or were, one, you could put your hand in your pocket and buy yourself some entertainment - in print.
(Remember "print"...?)
