Melbourne Books



Melbourne Books is an independent Australian publishing house founded in 2000 by its publisher, David Tenenbaum, who has over twenty-five years of book publishing experience.

Our mission is to help our authors tell their stories — whether a personal journey, an imagined adventure, the history of a place or organisation or tales told through such mediums as food recipes or musical careers.

We publish a wide range of books: from biographies, cookbooks, art and architecture to social histories, travel, academic works and novels.

Melbourne Books will be available from Star from October 1st
