Armin Lear Press Expands UK and European Reach Through Gardners Distribution Deal

Armin Lear Press, a US-based publisher, has entered into a distribution partnership with Gardners to broaden its presence across the UK and European markets. This agreement marks the first time the publisher’s titles will be widely accessible in these regions.

Through Gardners’ wholesale network, retailers and libraries throughout the UK and Europe can now order a curated selection of ten Armin Lear Press titles. Previously, the publisher’s catalogue had limited availability in these markets. This development is a key component of Armin Lear Press’s strategy to grow internationally.

Established in 2020, Armin Lear Press offers a diverse range of fiction and non-fiction works. Its focus includes current affairs, memoir, business, and practical books designed to engage readers with ideas that broaden perspectives and enrich lives.

The publisher’s collection features thrillers and narrative non-fiction with significant international themes. The initial list available via Gardners has been carefully selected for its appeal to European readers and comprises both new releases and established backlist titles. These span memoir, current affairs, business, and fiction, offered in hardback and paperback formats.

Among the frontlist titles are The Escape Artist, Hope at Work, The Xinjiang Procedure, and Pop Life (scheduled for publication in May 2026). Backlist titles include The WWII Bombing of Bari, Italy, BANKHAUS, The Custodians, Altar of Ashes, Your Sexually Addicted Spouse, and Simplicity.

Armin Lear Press plans to add more titles to Gardners’ distribution later in 2026 as it continues to extend its international footprint.

Maryann Karinch, founder of Armin Lear Press, commented: “Our partnership with Gardners is a pivotal step in our global growth. 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.”

All titles from Armin Lear Press are available through Gardners from today.
