About Fine Line Press
Fine Line Press (FLP) was established in 2009 by Graham Bathgate in Kapiti, New Zealand. Now based in Kerikeri, Northland, NZ, we are a small publisher specialising in books on Japan, branching out to writings of many talented NZ and Australian authors, and even managing to publish some of my own stuff.
The wish and intention of Fine Line Press is to produce books of quality mostly by new writers with fine stories to tell about their lives.
Please browse our bookshelf of over 20 varied titles, each with its own personal charm and appeal.
