Rufus Publications

Rufus Publications Rufus Publications is an independent publishing house, creating and distributing high end coffee table books about the bands and music that matter. right?

Quite simply we're passionate about music, books and publishing. We are a group of creative thinkers, working together to create a new publishing venture specialising in producing the best quality products that both fans and artiste would be proud to own. It's that simple. The market for "investment books" has grown over the last few years but this means limited edition high-end products can sell

for £400 up to £3000. Even we think this is a little steep. Our approach is to generate high quality, bespoke content in short runs at a price point people can afford. Yes, they are still expensive but you are buying a product that can't be purchased on the highstreet, that features hours of investment in intellectual content and the very highest production standards. Quite simply we only produce books and boxsets we'd buy ourselves. As the "label" grows we have plans for some exciting and unsual books. We'd like to work directly with a variety of artistes and bands at all levels with projects starting at just 250 copies. Of course, some of our titles will be gloriously unofficial but sometimes that makes for a better, more independent product. You'll get to read and see stuff your favourite artiste might not be over the moon with... but that's why you love them.. So, have a browse of our site. If you've got ideas for future projects please let us know. You'll find we're a very energetic team with some great ideas and a very balanced view of doing business...

MONSTERS OF ROCK - THE OFFICIAL ILLUSTRATED HISTORY 2025

In 2019 Rufus published the huge, official, celebratory history of The Monsters of Rock Festival in the UK. Written by music journalist and regular attendee John Tucker, the heavily illustrated book was a runaway success, quickly selling out and delighting festival fans and critics who attended the festival from 1980 to 1996.

Now it’s back across a range of editions, including a high end, ultra rare leather and metal edition, measuring 370mm square and bound in recycled black leather and presented in a hand welded black metal slipcase. This black edition is available in a run of just 50 copies and is personally signed by Kirk Hammett of Metallica who first stormed the festival in 1985. This edition, which features all of Metaliica’s performances at the festival, also includes a huge fold out poster of the 1985 lineup and an MOR sew on patch.

The edition can be pre-ordered from https://www.rufuspublications.com/rufusbooks/monstersofrock/monsters-of-rock-lepic-eather-and-metal-signed-edition-2

Imagine being 15 years old in 1980, travelling to Oxford with your mates to watch Ozzy in his new band and then running into him and Randy Rhoads (both in suits), having a chat, getting autographs and then being allowed into the Apollo to watch the sound check. We didn’t know how lucky we were. RIP Ozzy.
