I.B. Tauris

I. B. Tauris (usually typeset at I.B. Tauris) is the name of an independent publishing house with offices in London and New York. Its New York offices are co-located with those of Palgrave Macmillan but it does not acknowledge dependence on the larger firm. Tauris Parke is a paperback imprint belonging to the firm. Tauris Academic Studies is an imprint of the firm that specialises in academic monographs including those derived from PhD dissertations.

I. B. Tauris specialises in non-fiction books on the Middle East and the Islamic world generally, ranging in topic from history and politics to art and culture. Its books are aimed at the specialist market, including academics and students but because of the wide current interest in its preferred topics, they also sell to a general audience. As of 2007, it produces something under 200 titles per year.

The name of the firm presumably derives in part from that of its Chairman and Publisher, Iradj Bagherzade.
