ABOUT DREOILIN BOOKS

Dreoilin Books is a small, independent publisher specialising in titles in the following categories:

Motoring and Aviation history with particular reference to it's history in Ireland.

Established in 1999, we've published a wide selection of titles. One of our most popular ranges is the IRISH TRANSPORT SERIES that currently has 27 titles in the collection. They range from 32 page albums to 240 page books and new titles are regularly added. Their subjects go from histories of EARLY MOTORING and AVIATION IN IRELAND to the story of MOTOR ASSEMBLY IN IRELAND, and also tell the history of the many motor racing venues on this island. Most of the subjects are unique and have not appeared in print elsewhere.

Our most ambitious title yet tells the story of THE IRISH INTERNATIONAL GRAND PRIX 1929-31. This lavish, large-format account of these unique races and their political background recounts how they played a significant role in the emergence of the young Irish Free State, and is told here for the first time, illustrated with a wonderful collection of photographs, many of which have not been seen before.

One of our most recent titles is BETWEEN TWO WORLDS - The Lives of the Siamese Princes Chula and Bira. This acclaimed volume tells for the first time the life stories of these two trail-blazing Siamese and how they raced so successfully under the White Mouse banner in pre-war Europe. The book also explores their privileged origins and lifestyle as well as their later lives.

Caring for the Environment

We're now using 100% recycled and recyclable corrugated paper printed with water based inks for all our packaging. This represents a significant move away from our dependancy on single-use plastics. Our packaging biodegrades within three months. It can be shred, soaked and mixed with soil where micro-organisms will do the rest.
