The Royal Collection created its own imprint in the 1990s with the aim of building a definitive list of publications about the royal residences and works of art. Now well established, Royal Collection Publications produces guidebooks, exhibition catalogues, scholarly catalogues raisonnes and stand-alone books on the Collection and the royal palaces and residences. Recent awards include Highly Commended for French Porcelain for English Palaces in the exhibition catalogue section of the British Book Design and Production Awards 2009, a silver medal in the 2007 Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Award for Amazing Rare Things, and runner-up in the 2006 AXA/Art Newspaper Exhibition Catalogue of the Year for Unfolding Pictures: Fans in the Royal Collection.
Royal Collection Publications has an impressive backlist and expanding programme of new and forthcoming titles, including most recently The Heart of the Great Alone: Scott, Shackleton and Antarctic Photography, and for Spring 2010 Dutch Landscapes, Victoria and Albert: Art and Love, The Royal Portrait and Marcus Adams: Royal Photographer. Between ten and twelve new publications are produced annually and are sold on site, through mail order and online. Royal Collection Publications are distributed worldwide by Thames & Hudson Ltd, other than the USA and Canada, where from 1 January 2010 they will be distributed by the University of Chicago Press.
Books can also be ordered from this website, where you may find special discounts or offers. If you are planning a visit, guidebooks to the royal residences and current exhibition catalogues may be ordered in advance when buying your tickets online. A complete delivery service is offered to customers worldwide. For information on the specialist catalogues of the Paper Musuem of Cassiano dal Pozzo, please see the Cassiano Project website.
All profits from the sale of Royal Collection books are dedicated to the Royal Collection Trust and support curatorial, educational and conservation work. |
