Hesperian Press

Hesperian Press is a locally owned and operated book publisher located in Perth, Western Australia.

Peter Bridge first published technical material in 1969.[1][2]

The business of Hesperian Press in its current format started in 1979. The Press republishes out of print books together with new texts, as can be seen from the catalogue.[3][4]

It has also published facsimiles of early out-of-print Western Australian books, and the writings of early Australian Explorers.[5][6]

It continues to produce otherwise difficult to trace items [7]
