01 — Our story

Books with roots and wings.

Gumleaf Books celebrates writing that lingers: distinctive stories, curious ideas and beautifully made books for grown-up readers.

Grounded in the Australian landscape and open to the wider world, we believe the best books help us see familiar places with fresh eyes.

“A good book is a small wild place you can carry with you.”
