Barrallier Books

Barrallier Books Pty Ltd is a small publishing business based in Victoria (Australia).

It was started by Ian Gordon in 1999 and the first success was a deluxe book of original sonnets and reflective essays, Sonnets to a Promiscuous Beauty, published in 2005 and written by Melbourne based author and academic Dr. Paul Monk.[1] That was followed in 2006 by Hills of the West Wind by Tasmanian author Chris Binks and then The West in a Nutshell, again by Dr Paul Monk, published in 2009.

When Ian Gordon retired from the Australian Army in 2009, the focus on deluxe productions and the evocative book designs by Peter Gamble sharpened and in 2010 Barrallier Books published Vietnam on Canvas, a biography of Australia's official Vietnam War artist, Ken McFadyen, by Melbourne-based author and artist Sandra Finger Lee.

In 2011 Barrallier Books released Guitar, the Australian Journey[2][3] by Canberra based journalist and musician Chris Johnson.

Other works published include Waiting 'round the Bend...[4] White Sherpas[5] William Holmes [6]

Barrallier Books Pty Ltd also operates through an Imprint, Echo Books, which publishes Print on Demand and eBooks for Australian and New Zealand authors.
