Invisible Books
Invisible Books was established as a publishing imprint in 1993. We dealt secondhand books of related interest as a sideline from the outset: this has long since become our main business. At various times, we have traded from premises in Greenwich, Crystal Palace and Brighton but now conduct almost all our business via the internet. If visiting Brighton, our stall (no. 54) in Snooper's Paradise, Kensington Gardens, located in the fashionable North Laine, has a range of interesting and moderately priced stock.
This is probably my favourite. It's a small but interesting selection and I always find something I want to read there. The Deckchair Guide to Brighton & Hove
Bridget's Index is published by Book Works. Details are here. An interview with her can be read online here.
A recent article on Paul's The Memory of the Drift is online here. The book is published by Shearsman: full details here. Various sequences by him can be found at Great Works.
We are both greatly saddened by the death of Bill Griffiths (1948 - 2007). We count ourselves fortunate to have known him and to have published his work. Transcripts from a 1993 interview with Bill can be read here.

Sorry, but publishing is very much on the back burner at present. Please don't send mss., as we really wouldn't be able to use them.
