Welcome to JJ Books

JJ Books is a book publishing business founded by John Jackson (JJ) in 2011. It publishes beautifully illustrated tales of worlds, real or imagined, in which we can wander freely whilst drifting slowly into the security of sleep. 

Why Did We Create JJ Books?

JJ Books is an expression of JJ’s belief that, once basic human needs are satisfied, the most rewarding path to personal contentment is that which leads to the expression of creativity.  Founding a business is highly creative and founding a business that publishes beautifully illustrated written words is doubly so.

Our Mission

To offer authors and illustrators an unfettered outlet for their creativity.  To offer readers the simple pleasure of reading beautifully illustrated words.

Our First Book

It's no accident that the first book published by JJ Books (A Little Piece of England) is about self-sufficiency.  This book has been published by others twice before.  Its re-issue is a further expression of self sufficiency, an attitude of mind which leads to valuing personal freedom, independence and self reliance. 

Freedom and eTechnology

JJ Books believes in the link between self reliance and personal freedom. 

It sees ebooks as an important use of  digital technology which, arguably, is the greatest creator of freedom the world has seen for a long time. It has given us the Internet which has enabled millions of ordinary people to share and discuss information out in the open.  It has given us the vibrant social networks.  And, perhaps most importantly, it has unlocked the gateways controlled by the commercial publishers of music, literature, art and other expressions of personal creativity.
