The Cornovia Press has since 2007 specialised in publishing titles relating to Cornwall, its history and culture, including reprints of rare and obscure works as well as anthologies, reference books and original material. We also publish books by Cornish writers, or those based in Cornwall, both fiction and non-fiction.
Forthcoming titles will include new books by some of Cornwall's best-known authors, more reprints of obscure works and transcriptions of unpublished historical manuscripts. Details of our latest title and any forthcoming titles will always be featured at the bottom of this page.
Our titles can be ordered from Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, or check on WorldCat to find libraries holding copies of our titles. We also now have a range of postcards featuring the prehistoric monuments of Cornwall and, if sales are sufficient, then we may expand the range to include other Cornish subjects or, for instance, some of our book cover designs. If you would like to discuss bulk orders, or you wish to purchase our books on behalf of a library service or non-profit organisation, please contact us about ordering.

Antiquarian Notes on the Prehistory of Cornwall
By Chris Bond
This is the first volume in a series dedicated to reproducing some of the long-forgotten articles from historical journals relating to Cornwall’s illustrious and ancient past. The articles themselves are taken from a variety of publications, both local and national, and from a wide span of time. To have these valuable sources in a set of compact volumes makes not only for an interesting read, but also a useful tool for reference.

Greig (Antiquarian and Topographical Cabinet, 1808); The Hurlers (Light From the West, 1833); Some Account of the Opening of a Barrow near Newquay by The Rev.

T. Blight (The Gentleman’s Magazine, 1868); Remarks on the Stone-Circles at Boscawen-un and Boskednan in West Cornwall by E. H. W.
