About Practical Action Publishing

Practical Action Publishing publishes books, journals and open-access titles on international development, including practical 'how to' manuals and academic texts, in print, digital and open-access formats. It is the wholly owned publishing arm of the charity Practical Action and also acts as exclusive publisher and distributor for several international partners.

Customers are development practitioners, NGOs, academic institutions, libraries and booksellers. Revenue comes from book and journal sales, elibrary access, and publishing for international organisations and research institutions; open-access and free Practical Answers resources are also offered. The company also manages Health Books International and the Practical Answers collection.

The company is based in Rugby, United Kingdom, and was founded in 1974. Its catalogue includes more than 2000 books and 3000 journal articles, and it distributes through Ingram International with print-on-demand facilities in several regions.
