Welcome to Fulham Folios

Fulham Folios started out as a very basic digital publishing platform producing only small technical e-books mainly for one author, the digital marketer Chris Branden.

His first book on QR Codes was the best selling e-book on the subject and he followed that up with several other guides on NFC, website mobilisation and even one on how to conquer your inner demons. His latest one on NFTs has just been released also.

Following on from the success of these, Fulham Folios ventured to the into the print publishing world. And we went from one extreme to the other. Breaking with tradition we moved out of our normal digital guide book niche and went for a very high end production.

We decided we only wanted to publish books of high quality, something substantial, something you would be proud to own, and that you would want to keep forever. In short the exact opposite of our normal digital output.

We want to publish books that are modern in approach and content but solidly old fashioned and traditional in feel.

The result of all this is that we are very proud to present our inaugural dip into the print world with, “How Tennis Invented Everything” by Christian Howgill, who has many writing credits to his name, from numerous TV and radio shows to being a columnist with several magazines, but this is also his first print book.

It’s not only a meticulously researched book but also a delightfully written collection of stories depicting how tennis has influenced our world is so many completely unexpected ways.

The book immediately caused a bit of a mini sensation as it purports to solve the mystery on why tennis is scored at a peculiar 15 points at a time – a riddle debated by scholars and historians for over six hundred years without resolution – until now.

The book has already been signed up to feature in several literary festivals around the UK, and the author is backing that up by taking it on the road with a book tour. The icing on the cake though, is that the book has just been awarded one of the most coveted slots in tennis, with extracts being featured in The Daily Mail during the prestigious Wimbledon Championships.

Not too shoddy a debut for our first publication, the only trouble is, we’ve set ourselves a very high standard to follow.
