Armin Lear Press titles now widely available to UK and European markets

US publisher Armin Lear Press has struck a distribution agreement with Gardners to expand across the UK and European markets, marking its first widespread availability in the region.

A selection of ten titles is now available to order through Gardners’ wholesale network, giving retailers and libraries across the UK and Europe direct access to the Armin Lear Press catalogue, previously only available in a limited capacity in these markets. The move represents a significant step in the publisher’s international growth strategy.

Founded in 2020, Armin Lear Press publishes a broad range of fiction and non-fiction, with a particular focus on current affairs, memoir, business, and practical titles aimed at connecting people with ideas that deepen their perspective and make their lives richer.

The publisher’s catalogue includes a number of thrillers and narrative non-fiction with strong international themes. The launch list for Gardners has been curated for its relevance to European readers and includes a mix of frontlist and established backlist across memoir, current affairs, business, and fiction, available in a combination of hardback and paperback formats.

Frontlist titles include The Escape Artist, Hope at Work, The Xinjiang Procedure, and Pop Life (publishing May 2026). Backlist highlights include The WWII Bombing of Bari, Italy, BANKHAUS, The Custodians, Altar of Ashes, Your Sexually Addicted Spouse, and Simplicity.

Additional titles are expected to be made available through Gardners later in 2026 as Armin Lear Press continues to expand its international reach.

“Our partnership with Gardners is a pivotal step in our global growth,” said Maryann Karinch, founder of Armin Lear Press. “With issues of culture, identity and social change firmly in the spotlight across Europe, we see strong demand for bold, thought-provoking titles. Books such as The Xinjiang Procedure and Altar of Ashes speak directly to these conversations. We’re excited to embark on this new chapter and to connect our authors’ work with a broader international audience.”
