Based on the West Coast, Ten Speed Press spent decades as an independent publisher before becoming part of the Crown Publishing Group in 2009. Known for creating beautiful illustrated books with innovative design and award-winning content, Ten Speed actively seeks out new and established authors who are authorities and tastemakers in the world of food, drink, pop culture, graphic novels, illustration, design, reference, gardening, and health.

Bolles, the iconic adventure photography of There and Back by Jimmy Chin, and Marie Kondo’s trendsetting self-help book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. In food and drink, we publish such luminaries as Yotam Ottolenghi, Aaron Franklin, Bryant Terry, Mollie Katzen, Danielle Walker, David Lebovitz, Andrea Nguyen, Robert Simonson, Hawa Hassan, and the editors of Food52. Our groundbreaking graphic novel list features The Black Panther Party by David Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson, On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder and Nora Krug, Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X.
