The British Invasion Book

The British Invasion Book

A “little square book” focused on English pop culture since 1962 when the country began its revolution! Because it was in 1962, 60 years ago, that the ‘ole Albion, that of the monarchy, tea and crumpets and bowler hats took a resolutely modern turn, thanks to a sexy secret agent, a band from Liverpool, and a mini (skirt and car). From the eccentric to the ultra-conservative, from James Bond to AstraZeneca, from Bowie to Banksy, including After Eight and the Teletubbies, year after year, all things Brit are covered!

Independent Publishers Group: British books on British culture, places and food with Character, Curated for You

Independent Publishers Group has earned affection for books on British culture, places and food that bring a distinctly British or Irish note to daily life. These are pieces chosen for use as much as display, with texture, colour and practical detail doing most of the talking.

The Heritage of Independent Publishers Group
Built over generations, the reputation of Independent Publishers Group rests on consistency and a recognisable design language. Styles have shifted over time, yet the underlying idea remains: make useful things with enough character to become familiar favourites. That approach still feels relevant.

Signature Pieces from the Range
Featured in the curated range at Best of British NBPT, the A Short History of British Architecture brings the brand’s point of view into focus. A Short History of British Architecture has tactile, gift-ready appeal, while the The Jane Austen Files offers a second expression of the same character—something to hold, wear, pour from or place where it can be enjoyed often. Both are carefully selected for quality and style; Best of British NBPT does not make or design them.

Why Independent Publishers Group Resonates with Shoppers
There is warmth in choosing Independent Publishers Group: the books on British culture, places and food feel connected to craft, place and everyday ritual. They suit milestone gifts, small thank-yous and personal treats without needing a grand occasion. Picture a bookshop afternoon followed by tea, and the attraction becomes quite clear.
