For over 55 years, Search Press has published the world’s finest art and craft books. A family-owned company, each book is lovingly made for our readers and proudly ‘human-made’ because we believe creativity counts.
Established in 1970 by Charlotte de Bédoyère, Search Press is an independent, family-run publisher. We’ve grown into a creative team of around 40 people worldwide, all sharing a passion for high-quality arts and crafts books.
Over the past 50+ years, Search Press has published numerous bestsellers. Recent highlights include the Granny Square Card Deck™ series (200,000+ copies, 14 languages) and the Mini Amigurumi series (150,000+ copies).
Our authors are central to everything we do and we’re proud that many choose to publish with us time and again. We see this as a reflection of our collaborative and supportive approach.
Search Press has been recognised by leading publishing and craft organisations, including the IPA, Penguin Random House, the Creative Book Awards, and the Craft Business Awards, reflecting our commitment to quality and innovation.
