Publishing great stories from the world of television.


Supported through Kickstarter logo campaigns

Idiot Box Books uses crowdfunding to publish stories based on iconic tv shows from the past 60 years.

Whether it’s a drama, sci-fi or comedy, we’re on a mission to bring back TV classics from around the world in print.

Very few TV tie in books are published each year, despite the fact that most of us love telly and reading. That’s because traditional publishers need their books to sell in huge numbers to be commercially viable. We don’t. We just need to reach small but dedicated fan communities who, like us, want to help their favourite shows to live on.

Our first campaigns will launch Summer 2025.
