Welcome to
Bedford Square Books, a new
eBook and
Print on Demand publishing venture coming from the
Ed Victor Literary Agency.
Our aim is to make available to readers some of the books we love that have gone out of print or are currently unavailable. Occasionally we will publish original works - for these, please scroll a little further down. We are aware that the way we read is changing and so all BSB titles will be available in ebook format for the first time. However, if you prefer the traditional feel of paper, then all our titles are also available in paperback, on demand. Publishing in this way will allow us to continue the life of our authors' work as well as bring them to a new platform for the 21st Century reader.
Whichever format you choose, we hope you will enjoy our launch titles; a wide mix of high quality, timeless and still topical books from a range of genres, both fiction and non-fiction. We are inviting you to browse our bookshelves:

Ed Victor has clearly spotted a niche in the market. The super-agent is setting up a new publishing house called Bedford Square Books, named after the Bloomsbury address where he first worked when he came to London from America in the Sixties.The new business will be an ebook and print-on-demand company for fiction and non-fiction by clients of the Ed Victor literary agency, many of them classics in their field but which are currently out of print... "Thanks to new technology, the lines of publishing are blurred", explains Victor. "It's now possible to print a single copy quite economically without a huge print run, or to put it out as an ebook. I'm not out to threaten the British publishing industry, in which I've been a proud participant for nearly 50 years. I'm doing it as a service to my authors who may have written books which are now dormant. We'll do books that publishers have no further claim on - but I'm not ruling out original books by new authors."
