The Powerhouse Behind Your Favourite Craft Books
At Craft Source Market, we believe that the best creative projects start with inspiration. Sometimes that's a fresh idea, a new technique, or simply a beautiful new book to guide you. That's why we're so excited to introduce you to one of our key partners in the world of publishing: GMC Distribution.
You might not know their name, but if you've ever picked up a gorgeous, full-colour craft book on knitting, woodworking, or papercraft, there's a good chance that GMC played a crucial role in getting it into your hands. As a cornerstone of the craft and lifestyle publishing industry, GMC Distribution is more than just a logistics company, they are a dedicated champion of high-quality, practical, and beautiful books.
The Heart of the Matter: A Passion for Craft
GMC Distribution is part of a larger entity, The Guild of Master Craftsman, a group dedicated to the excellence of skilled trades and creative pursuits. This deep-rooted passion for craft is evident in every title they distribute. They don't just move boxes; they carefully select and champion books that are valued by both professional artisans and enthusiastic amateurs.
Their catalog is a treasure trove for anyone with a creative spirit. You'll find everything from essential stitch guides for knitting and crochet to inspiring project books on macramé, pyrography, and upholstery. Their mission is to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to create something truly special, all while producing books that are not only hardworking and practical, but also beautiful to look at.
A Partner for Publishers, A Friend to Crafters
They also have a special talent for reaching non-traditional markets like gift shops and specialty outlets. This means you might discover a stunning new book on your favourite hobby in places you'd least expect it, a testament to their dedication to spreading the joy of craft far and wide.
Beyond their own publications, such as GMC Publications and Button Books, they distribute for a wide variety of partners, expanding the reach of many smaller and independent publishers. This commitment helps to keep the craft publishing world vibrant and diverse, ensuring there's always something new and exciting to discover.
GMC Distribution acts as a vital bridge between publishers and the people who love their books. They provide a complete range of sales, marketing, and fulfilment services, helping publishers, especially those from the US and UK reach a broad audience. This includes both traditional bookshops and specialist craft stores, ensuring that no matter where you shop, you'll have access to the best new titles.
More Than Just Books
While their core focus is on publications, GMC also distributes a curated collection of stationery and gift products. This includes high-quality, design-led items that perfectly complement a creative lifestyle. From beautiful children's ranges to unique contemporary stationery, their distributed products are as thoughtfully chosen as their books.
Ultimately, GMC Distribution's story is one of passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to the creative community. They are a brand that understands the value of well-made crafting and the joy of learning a new skill. We are proud to partner with them and bring their exceptional catalog of books to you.
Happy creating!
