Vertebrate Publishing

Vertebrate Publishing A crack team of climbers, cyclists, walkers, designers & photographers At Vertebrate Publishing we publish books to inspire adventure.
(1)

It’s our rule that the only books we publish are those that we’d want to read or use ourselves. We endeavour to bring you beautiful books that stand the test of time and that you’ll be proud to have on your bookshelf for years to come. The Peak District was the inspiration behind our first books. Our offices are situated on its doorstep, minutes away from world-class climbing, biking and hillwalki

ng. We’re driven by our own passion for the outdoors, for exploration, and for the natural world; it’s this passion that we want to share with our readers. We aim to inspire everyone to get out there. We want to connect readers – young and old – with the outdoors and the positive impact it can have on well-being. We think it’s particularly important that young people get outside and explore the natural world, something we support through our publishing programme. As well as publishing award-winning new books, we’re working to make available many out-of-print classics in both print and digital formats. These are stories that we believe are unique and significant – we want to make sure that they continue to be shared and enjoyed for generations to come.

Buy Scottish Island Bagging and get a free copy of Macc and Other Islands.

Scottish Island Bagging by Helen and Paul Webster, founders of Walkhighlands, is a guide to the islands of Scotland. Focusing on the 99 islands that have regular trips or means of access, plus 55 other islands without regular transport but of significant size or interest, the authors have described the best ways to experience each one.

In Macc and Other Islands, Graham Wilson explores some of the remotest, most spectacular parts of Britain ― the Hebrides, Orkneys and a couple of deserted Atlantic outposts. Landscapes, people and snippets of history are recalled with wit and affection: Rum, Eriskay, Mingulay, Jura, Sula, Arran, Hoy, Skomer and, above all, Barra.

Everest – the highest peak in the world, the ultimate challenge to a mountaineer’s skill and endurance. It had been climbed before, but never like this. Chris Bonington and his team had ambitions to climb it – the hard way. Everest the Hard Way is an exhilarating story of courage, endurance and teamwork. In partnership with Berghaus and Community Action Nepal, we have published a fiftieth anniversary edition of Chris's iconic expedition book .

Chris Bonington Mountaineer is a photographic autobiography, documenting over sixty years of climbing the world’s most beautiful and challenging mountains. In this 2016 edition, which features over 500 photographs, we are given a frank perspective into the surreal, majestic and occasionally tragic corners of his incredible mountaineering career.

Buy And So I Run (limited edition signed hardback) and get a free copy of 1001 Running Tips.

Both books new and in perfect condition.

And So I Run is more than just a story of a 26.2-mile obsession – it’s a celebration of life’s absurdities and an uplifting story about how Jamie redefined his relationship with running. Engaging and relatable, with the marathon at its heart, And So I Run speaks to all runners, offering a raw, witty and human exploration of how we cope, heal and sometimes keep on just putting one foot in front of the other.

1001 Running Tips by Robbie Britton is a light-hearted and informative guide to all kinds of running.

This is no standard instruction manual – it is much more useful than that. This is a huge collection of small tips to make a real difference to your running, whether you’re just starting out and aiming to run for 30 minutes without stopping or if you’re training for your first marathon – this book will improve your running.

The myriad of topics featured include starting out, setting goals, training plans, injury, nutrition, safety, kit, running with your dog, navigation, sleep deprivation, running in all weathers, racing, fell running and music.

Robbie’s unique and accessible style will keep you entertained and, most importantly, he’ll motivate you to keep enjoying running, overcome obstacles getting in your way and to become the best runner you can!

Buy Peak Bagging Munros and get a free copy of The Munros in Winter.

Both books new and in perfect condition.

Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 southern Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of ‘compleating’ them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right.

The Munros in Winter by Martin Moran brings these highlands, and the couple's adventurous and testing exhibition through them, to you.

Martin's account of the winter journey is a classic mountain narrative, combining his passionate enthusiasm for the mountains with humorous insights into a marriage put to the test through three months of living in a camper van.

Inspiring many other climbers and runners to pick up the gauntlet in pursuit of new feats of endurance on Scotland's hills, the book, now reissued with full colour photographs plus an introductory update by the author on how the 'Munros in Winter' changed his life.

'The first and finest account of climbing Scotland's winter mountains, the greatest challenge our hills have to offer.' - Cameron McNeish.

We have our first review for Extreme Rock

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully presented and enjoyable guide to / history of 150+ Extreme graded climbs in the UK.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2025

A really beautifully presented and enjoyable guide to / history of 150+ Extreme graded climbs in the UK. The personal essays on each route really bring the crags to life and gives an idea of how the sport has developed over the last 40 years and the whole project is a wonderful tribute to those that compiled the original edition back in 1987. Strongly recommended for extreme climbers and interested weekenders alike.
