Casemate UK is delighted to welcome MMP Books!
MMP was founded in 1996 by Roger Wallsgrove, to publish Mushroom Model Magazine. This quarterly modelling magazine was developed from Mushroom Monthly, a club newsletter which ran from 1985 to 1995, achieving a world-wide reputation for quality articles, fearless and honest reviews, and a great sense of humour.
The magazine’s motto was “not taking serious modelling too seriously”, but at the same time concentrating on well-researched and well-written modelling articles, honest and forthright reviews, and good photographic coverage of chosen subjects. From 1997 the magazine was produced in collaboration with Robert Peczkowski and Artur Juszczak (Stratus), which meant a big leap in print quality and design.
MMP expanded into book publication in 1999, and since then they have built up a list of books on aircraft and aviation history, military vehicles, and military history. Their books are now read around the world and have been received to critical acclaim.
In 2006 the decision was made to stop producing the magazine to concentrate on book production; the books being a logical follow-on, and with the same philosophy. MMP’s emphasis is on accessible, well-researched and well-written books, showcasing top-quality photos and artwork, produced to a high standard.
Casemate UK is very excited to distribute MMP and will be profiling many of their excellent books in our emails and on social media over the coming weeks. Below are just some of the forthcoming books that you can look forward to!
