More on Canongate Books
Description from Wikipedia:
Canongate Books (often simply Canongate) is a Scottish independent publishing firm based in Edinburgh; it is named for the Canongate area of the city.
It was originally a speciality press focusing on Scottish-interest books, generally with small print runs; its most major author was Alasdair Gray. In 1994 it was bought out by employee Jamie Byng, using funds provided by his stepfather Christopher Bland, and began to publish more general works, including the highly successful Pocket Canons editions of books of the Bible, as well as the Payback Press and Rebel Inc. imprints.
Among its most notable recent publications is Life of Pi, the first Scottish-published book to win the Booker Prize or to sell a million copies in its first year, and the Canongate Myth Series of novellas, in which contemporary authors reimagine ancient myths from a variety of cultures.
