What is a Magbook?
A MagBook is a perfect-bound, magazine-sized soft back book focusing on a particular subject matter. Known to trade as bookazines, these titles are sold on the magazine racks and are priced between £5.99 and £9.99 with production values to reflect this price.
The story so far
Dennis Publishing entered into the MagBook business in 2004 with Evo Supercars, which was sold exclusively through WHSmith and priced at £9.99 - sales were in excess of 12,000 copies. From these small beginnings the business has grown to a £7 million business in six years, increasing the number of titles and retail channels along the way. Dennis Publishing's MagBooks not only cover topics associated with the company's portfolio of magazines, but also subjects that explore new territories. There are over 100 MagBook titles in the portfolio, including Ultimate Guide to the iPad, Viz Hairy Almanackers, Linux: The Complete Manual, The Independent Guide to Ebay, The Independent Guide to the iPhone 4, Aston Martin: The Complete Story, The Ultimate Guide to Bicycle Maintenance, Bizarre Body Art and the Men's Fitness Complete Training Guide. These MagBooks are available in a wide range of retailers, including WHSmith, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda and Morrisons. 2011 will also see the transfer of these titles to digital editions. Dennis has built a reputation for producing the highest quality MagBooks in the market, and the phenomenal growth has made Dennis the largest bookazine publisher in the world.
