Tarquin Publications
For many years situated deep in rural Suffolk overlooking a charming duck pond, Tarquin Publications was founded by Gerald and Margaret Jenkins in 1970. At first Tarquin was little more than a hobby run from home, but gradually the range of titles extended and the name became better known until today, books and posters are exported to most countries around the Globe. Our first books were the 'Make Shapes' series of mathematical models to cut out, glue together and decorate. Gerald Jenkins had been a mathematics teacher and so most of the earlier books were based on mathematical ideas. However, gradually the knowledge of shapes and paper folding which had been acquired was applied to creating books in other subject areas. We now have series of books about paper engineering, science, optical illusions, mirror reflections, costume and history as well as do-it-yourself pop-up books and collections of colourful mobiles and gift boxes.
In late 2004, on Gerald and Margaret's retirement Tarquin moved to St Albans and became part of the Richard Griffin company, which started trading in 1820 and for many years specialised in statistics publising.
Specifically interested in books with these subjects or themes: mathematicfal models and paper engineering books for intelligent children.
