The same forty books circulate endlessly while thousands of extraordinary ones sit one shelf over, unread. Double Dutch is a compass pointed at that other shelf — a room for the books worth finding.
Stories that leap.
Our children's imprint — picture books that make the world's overlooked little wonders feel enormous.

What is Double Dutch Publishing?
Double Dutch is an independent press and reading room devoted to overlooked and fascinating books — deep cuts from indie presses, surfaced by hand and by The Underread, our AI reading-room clerk.
What is The Underread?
The Underread is our reading-room clerk. Tell it a book or author you love, or describe the kind of book you want, and it recommends genuine matches from a curated corpus of overlooked, indie-press titles. It never invents a book.
Does Double Dutch only publish its own titles?
No. We publish a small list of our own, and we curate and champion overlooked books from independent presses worldwide. The reading room is the heart of what we do.
How can I get recommendations by email?
Join the reading room and we send one overlooked book to your inbox each week, plus a free starter guide of twelve titles to read before everyone else.
