A few years ago I was asked to write something up about why I had decided to go into the book business, though you might find it interesting :
"Crimson - noun - a deep to vivid red; verb - to turn red with great emotion
Books - noun - written words, such as a novel; verb - engage for a performance.When Crimson Books began the idea was to make the type of books I like, on topics I find engaging, more widely available. As with all honest ideas if was little bit selfish, if the were out there I wanted them for myself and to a little something out of it.
And people were excited. Primarily focusing on military history meant I knew my audience : the buff, the armchair historians, the re-enactors, the table-top gamers, the experts. The enthusiastic.
X-years on and I am just beginning to see just how many types of enthusiast there are out there. Are you fascinated by a craft? Wish you lived in different time, or could make up a world of your own? Does your growing collection of good stuff give you a reason to go to work every day? Or are you just looking for that interest that will light a spark in your mind and set fire to your life?
Well, I have a place for you. Crimson Books Inc. place for people with enthusiasms."
