Sort of Books is an independent British publishing house started in 1999 by Mark Ellingham and Natania Jansz, founders of the Rough Guides travel series.
[1][2] The company publishes both original and classic fiction and non-fiction titles: "The sort of books [readers] will want to discover and re-discover.
"[3] The launch title of Sort of Books in 1999 was Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia, a memoir by Chris Stewart (original drummer of the band Genesis), which went on to sell more than a million copies.
The company's website also notes: "[W]e are delighted to keep in print Peter Blegvad's unique Leviathan – a genre-defying comic strip collection of wordplay, puns and ideas.
We love this book and owe Peter a debt, having called our company after the first record he made with his band, Slapp Happy.
