About Us Triglyph Books

Triglyph Books publishes illustrated books of the highest standard.

Founded in 2019 by renowned photographer, Dylan Thomas, and award-winning writer and journalist Clive Aslet, Triglyph Books seeks to push the boundaries of quality in illustrated books. Employing new photographic and production techniques, we create books of distinction, with a flexibility that has never previously been available.

Dylan and Clive’s combination of visual and editorial experience enables them to surpass the industry benchmark and achieve a superlative level across all aspects of the process – words, images, design, printing and binding.

The service offered by Triglyph Books is not only more cost effective than alternatives but offers far greater flexibility. This will be of interest to clients who want a product that is personalised to their requirements. For example, large print runs can be divided and specially customised for different purposes whilst small print runs can be surprisingly affordable. Books published in one format can be repackaged, with new material, at a later date as required. Triglyph Books works to your brief and your needs.

Triglyph titles can be sold through the book trade or, where privacy is an issue, restricted to private circulation. Furthermore, content generated for books can also be used to improve websites and other media.

Projects will benefit from the extensive network of contacts that Dylan and Clive have acquired over the course of their careers. Dylan and Clive are particularly well placed to access magazines and other media outlets as they are in regular contact with the country’s leading designers. Their daily exposure to the latest technological developments in publishing places Triglyph Books at the cutting edge.

Architects, corporations, designers, colleges, hotels and other bodies who want books that will celebrate their achievements and support their marketing efforts should consider Triglyph Books. It should also appeal to families who want to record their own homes.

In 2020, Triglyph books will publish Old Homes, New Life. The resurgence of the British country house, photographed by Dylan and written by Clive.
