Veloce Publishing is primarily an automotive book publisher based in Poundbury, Dorset. Founded in 1991[1] by Rod Grainger and Jude Brooks, it has published close to 1000 titles under the Veloce imprint,[2] and over 80 titles under its Hubble & Hattie imprint, which deals with animal-related subjects.[3]
The company name was derived from the Italian for ‘speed’ and was inspired by Alfa-Romeo, who used the term to denote its faster models. The name also references Velocette motorcycles, which formed the subject of one the company's earliest titles.
Veloce's Mazda MX-5 Miata workshop manual, was one of its first published titles, and was written by founder Rod Grainger and Pete Shoemark.
Veloce has published books by a range of notable authors, including TV presenter Mike Brewer,[4][5] former Rallying champion and Top Gear pundit Tony Mason, Supercar dealer Tom Hartley, and, under the Hubble and Hattie imprint, astronomer Sir Patrick Moore.
