James Gordon Cheers (born 1954) owned a wholesale carnivorous plant nursery in southeast Australia.
In August 1999, Gordon Cheers and Margaret Olds set up Global Book Publishing.
Anatomica, with 912 pages, is likely the most comprehensive, illustrated body atlas since Gray's Anatomy.
In 2003, Gordon published, amongst others, Flora (1584 pages), which covers 20,000 plants and includes 12,000 colour images.
[citation needed] In 2005, with Margaret Olds, he established Millennium House to publish illustrated non-fiction books for both the Australian and the international market.
