hope you’ll find plenty to interest and excite you.<br />
The variety of titles shown vindi<strong>cat</strong>es our claim to be Wales’<br />
liveliest publishers. We were established in the fun-loving,<br />
anti-establishment Sixties – our name Y <strong>Lolfa</strong> means ‘lounge’<br />
or ‘fun-place’ – but producing good books of Welsh interest<br />
remains our priority. Our range now includes history, politics,<br />
humour as well as our best-selling Welsh language tutors.<br />
Recently we have ventured into biographies and it’s been a<br />
privilege to publish the stories of some of Wales’s most eminent<br />
sport personalities including Ashley Williams, Dai Morris,<br />
Nigel Owens and Lynn Howells as well as some of the nation’s<br />
most loved characters such as Chris Needs, Howard Marks and<br />
Owen Money.<br />
Alongside our publishing business, we also run a busy print<br />
service. We have 45 years’ experience of supplying commercial<br />
print to companies all over Wales and beyond. We offer high<br />
quality, competitive prices and a fast and friendly service<br />

While always happy to promote all things Welsh, we have to<br />
admit that it is a Scottish author, Alasdair Gray, who expressed<br />
it perfectly. His words of advice are engraved on a wall of the<br />
Scottish Parliament: “Work as if you live in the early days of a<br />
better nation.”<br />
