Gill & Macmillan publishes a wide range of Irish-interest non-fiction, from history to economics, politics to cookery and biography to children’s. Since 1968 we have published outstanding authors and groundbreaking books such as David McWilliams’ The Pope’s Children, Noel Browne’s Against the Tide, Garret FitzGerald’s All in a Life, Augustine Martin’s Soundings and three generations of Ballymaloe’s Allen family on our cookery list.
Our story begins in 1856 when Michael Henry Gill, then printer for Dublin University, purchased the publishing and bookselling business of James McGlashan, forming McGlashan & Gill. In 1875 the name was changed to M.H. Gill & Son. In 1968 Gill & Macmillan was established as a result of an association with Macmillan of London, which had been founded in 1843. Gills had a shop on Dublin’s O’Connell St that sold books for 123 years until 1979. Today our bookshop can be found at www.gillmacmillan.ie.
Gill & Macmillan also publishes a well-established range of educational books and resources for all levels: primary, secondary, college and university. We also provide a distribution service for the majority of Ireland’s independent publishers.
