Our parent organisation Publishing Scotland is organising a petition to protest the proposed closure of the Chambers Harrap offices in Edinburgh. The Chambers name has been a cornerstone of the Scottish publishing world for nearly 200 years - you can learn more about the company on BooksfromScotland.com at http://www.booksfromscotland.com/Features/Publisher-of-the-Month/Chambers-Harrap

Publishing Scotland is asking for your support by signing an electronic petition. Please pass on the message to your friends and colleagues.

We would like to register our support for the campaign to retain the Chambers office in Edinburgh. Chambers books, notably The Chambers Dictionary, have a distinctive quality that is in due in no small part to their Scottish roots. We urge Chambers's parent company Hachette UK to reconsider its decision which could bring an end to Chambers's 190-year presence in Scotland and threatens the continued existence of the Chambers name.
