About Icon

Icon Books is an independent publisher founded in 1992 which specialises in intelligent, quality non-fiction for a general audience. Our Introducing Graphic Guide series thrives alongside a list of books in science, history, politics, sport, language, humour and much else besides.

Based primarily near Caledonian Road station in north London, Icon publish books in all English-speaking markets of the world – and many non-English speaking ones too. Our books are sold by leading distributors around the world and our translation rights sales are managed by the Marsh Agency in London.
