EnvelopeBooks is built on a simple idea: that books are letters from a writer to a reader. With that in mind, we look for works of fiction and non-fiction that had to be written and have to be read. Our covers reinforce the metaphor. Designed as envelopes, they use subtle postal motifs as graphic clues to the content of each book. Now read one. Or write one.

Kiera has always been fascinated by the ways words can be used to twist insanity into perfect sense, and thought she better take some responsibility and twist some of it back again.

Enthralling. Inspiring. Impossible to forget.

Archidustrial is a small publisher founded by Nick Haseltine, an architect with a long-standing interest in the connections between industrial architecture and landscapes, cartography and mapping, and social and community history.

From an early age, Nick was fascinated by the industrial environment around him—studying old maps, watching ships move through the local harbour, and exploring the dominant silhouettes of pit wheels and power stations across nearby coalfields and coastal marshlands. These early observations developed into a wider interest in industrial history and design, and in understanding how industrial buildings and infrastructure not only supported economic activity but also became an integral part of both local identity and a broader social history.

Through Archidustrial’s publications, using photography, drawings, and prints, each project seeks to record and share the character, history, and continuing significance, and often fast disappearing, landscapes in the UK, Germany, and the USA.
