SILVER CITY – 500 YEARS of Portsmouth’s History

"I want to congratulate you on the book you’ve produced. The book is a superb accompaniment to the exhibition and programme, great quality."
Stephen Baily
Director of Culture, Leisure and Regulatory Services
"I just wanted to put on record our thanks for your support developing the book to accompany the Silver City exhibition. The whole process was seamless and it was rewarding to work with such a professional local company. The ability to turn around such a great product in quick time as part of a wider project was ideal for our needs. The quality of the design and print is excellent and really complements the significance of the silver collection. It has been very warmly received by visitors, and is already selling very well. We are taking a copy to Caen with the Deputy Lord Mayor to present to the Mayor of Caen."
James Daly
Cultural Development and Projects Officer
Silver City: 500 Years of Portsmouth’s History is a major exhibition at Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery, telling the story of the city through amazing silver treasures. It showcases many precious objects that have never been on public display before. Most come from the city’s civic collection but others have been loaned from the Royal Navy, the city’s Anglican cathedral and the Goldsmiths’ Company Charity. Exhibits include a model of HMS Victory presented to the city when the Portsmouth Command of the Royal Navy was awarded the Freedom of the City in 1965. It is made from copper taken from the ship and plated in silver.

Hardbacks

My journey into writing was rather late, having finished writing my first book, my next problem was to find a publisher, this was a daunting prospect. Having tried several companies with no avail, I turned to the Internet. It was here I found Tricorn Books and Dan Bernard. My problems were solved in one phone call. I have found Dan easy to work with, he has untold patience, nothing is too much trouble, his experience and expert guidance makes the publishing process a pleasure. The quality of the print work, paper and reproduction of photographs used in the publishing of my books both hard back and paperback has been first class. If you have a book to publish, I have no hesitation in recommending Tricorn Books and Dan Bernard.

As any self published author will know, your books live inside you and become extremely precious. When I decided to publish The Wise Bear Stories I knew for several reasons it would be challenging… I wanted to launch a collection of several books at the same time, and because of the timeless principles shared in the books I wanted the illustrations and quality to match this. I wanted the production to be good enough that families would pass the books on to younger generations. Dan Bernard from Tricorn Books helped me manage this complex process. He gave superb professional advice throughout and pulled a team together who were patient and professional and who enabled me to deliver my vision. Dan’s support did not end after the book was published, he continues to be a great source of information and encouragement as I continue to grow the brand.
