History of English Handwriting

Welcome to Tiger of the Stripe

Tiger of the Stripe is a small, independent book publisher based in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames in southwest London. Richmond is an attractive and historically-interesting town. It was known as Sheen until Henry VII built a new palace here in about 1500 and renamed the town after Richmond in Yorkshire. In turn, it gave its name to Richmond, Virginia. We are fortunate to have both Richmond Park and the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, on our doorstep, and Hampton Court is also close. Unfortunately, Heathrow Airport is within spitting distance and the planes can be very noisy!

In February we launched our new language imprint,Tiger Xenophon. It has its own web site here. Amongst its first batch if titles is a new ediition of Kennedy's Latin Primer in both US and UK editions. Many other titles will be coming in the next few months.

We would welcome proposals for new books on living and dead languages and literature. Please use the contacts page.
