Ransom Publishing and Dragon Books are sister companies, working together to offer schools the very best selection of books for both the library and the classroom. Ransom is our publishing arm specialising in literacy. Known best for our books for reluctant and struggling readers, the programme of books we have built up over the year is both valued and loved by teachers, parents and librarians.
Dragon Books is our school book supply arm. We can supply most books in print but also tailor collections to meet school needs. Dragon Books was set up in 2015, when we realised how many other publishers had great books that often weren't been offered to schools. In our ranges you will find some gems from publishers you may not know, alongside more familiar titles.
