Our Emerald imprint site has now been merged into this site for economy reasons. All our Emerald titles can be accessed here, as usual:
Emerald is an imprint of Straightforward Publishing and brings a high standard
of design and format quality which complements our early commitment to
low-cost publishing for all. This, combined with increased marketing efforts,
provides a product that competes with more established publishers.
