Publishing under the imprint of GILES, the company focuses on co-publishing for museums, galleries, historic sites, as well as a range of specialist institutions, such as major research and reference libraries. The core list is made up of exhibition guides, permanent collection titles and museum guides with an emphasis on art and decorative art, architecture, photography, history and general interest, but the company also pursues the notion of publishing genuinely interesting books with a serious trade interest on more specialist subjects in these areas.<br><br>
Through the extensive experience of its senior executives, in the museum and gallery publishing business, GILES is able to provide the full range of services expected of any established publishing company, from specialist editorial, translation and design services to colour origination and pre-press services; from printing and press management to international sales, marketing and distribution. Throughout all of these services, the emphasis is on the quality and accessibility of the finished product.
GILES recognizes that a dedicated sales, marketing and distribution. service is a vital part of the company' s appeal to its prospective clients, and the company has fully developed distribution arrangements both in the USA and UK, Europe and Rest of World. Alongside more traditional sales, marketing and distribution arrangements, GILES has developed a robust direct sales operation focussing on sales of its titles to specialist niche markets, including academic ones.<br>
GILES does not limit its expertise merely to printed media; the new company is building on its position as a niche publisher to develop and produce electronic work, in particular the development of online/web-based virtual museum tours, for both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. Particular emphasis is placed on the quality and function of design as it applies to electronic media, and GILES enjoys access to some of the UK's leading electronic designers and website builders.<br><br>
The overall objective of GILES is to provide its clients with a complete range of complementary services within a wider interpretative environment. GILES is able to work either as a co-publisher, or additionally as a graphic designer and provider of identity work, as well as a provider of electronic products and services, all produced in the closest possible collaboration with, and tailored to the specific needs of the institution. <br><br>
GILES provides turn-key solutions to museums, galleries, historic sites and specialist institutions, whether they are charged with finding new and stimulating ways of educating and informing the public about the works of art in their collections, hosting major exhibitions, providing new education and outreach services, or making their collections and reference libraries available to growing international body of academics, scholars and students<br>

Today many museums are engaged in on-going programmes of reinstallation and refurbishment, in addition to major construction programmes.
Such programmes give museums the chance to take a completely fresh and integrated look at their visitor interpretation. Fundamental to this is the need to improve the supply and take-up of the information available, thereby enhancing levels of visitor satisfaction and expanding people’s awareness of the importance of museums in preserving and maintaining our cultural heritage.<br>
Most museum websites present artworks or installations as single flat images with captions. However, within galleries such works are rarely seen in isolation, but always in juxtaposition with other objects and artworks, set within a carefully planned space.<br>
Our approach aims to reproduce this sensation and give the visitor the opportunity to move around the museum at will, selecting the type of information and level of content they wish to receive.<img src="img/subHeads/publishing_team.gif" width="101" height="25" alt="museum guides"><br>
