Frequently Asked Questions

You have a great number of guides. Are you a massive company?

Well, no, actually, we are a very small company. We just work hard!

We are based in the village of Milnthorpe, just south of Kendal on the edge of the Lake District. We have a small core team (about 7 of us) covering publishing, editing, cartography and design and production, plus all our marketing which covers information provision to retailers, guiding retailers on the ranges, and telling the world about Cicerone.

We work with over 100 authors on developing new guides and keeping existing guides up to date.

And we do work with ‘partners’ who help us deliver the service that our customers and guidebook buyers require. These include BookSource, who handle all our warehousing and shipment needs (CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS), and other teams who visit stores to keep them posted on upcoming and new titles.
