Prospect and Marion Boyars Titles

In 2024 we acquired Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd. and their imprint, Prospect books. The latter are all devoted to food studies while the Boyars titles are a combination of fiction/creative writing and non-fiction, the most prominent authors being Ivan Illich, Pauline Kael and John Cage.

Only a small number of backlist titles on the Prospect and Marion Boyars lists have digital options. We have a program to convert more.

Websites

We run three websites.

This is our main website (https://www.equinoxpub.com) where books can be ordered, where we consolidate all essential company information and display in-depth details about our books and where interactive digital editions are hosted. Journals are also featured here for discovery/marketing purposes.

Our platform for delivering eBook/PDFs and ePubs is equinoxonline

Ordering

We offer direct supply and also work with the major international library suppliers/vendors such as EBSCO, Harrassowitz and many others. In 2024 we were accepted into the GOBI system. We do not license any vendors to host our digital books.

If you would like us to quote, please contact Sarah Lee. Libraries can also order online but in the case of digital, we will need a site license to be completed and the IP addresses confirmed.

All Equinox books are published simultaneously in print and as eBooks/PDFs.Starting in 2025 we will also publish ePub3 editions whenever possible and we will be converting certain backlist titles to ePub3 standards. In addition, many books are also available as interactive editions (hosted on this. platform, access via password only). Libraries ordering any digital product will receive access to all available versions i.e. as many as 3 options for the price of one.
