Canongate Books (often simply Canongate) is a Scottish independent publishing firm based in Edinburgh; it is named for The Canongate, an area of the city. It is most recognised for publishing the Booker Prizewinner ''Life of Pi''. Canongate was named Publisher of the Year in 2003 and 2009.
==Origins==
Canongate was founded in 1973 by Stephanie Wolfe Murray and her husband Angus Wolfe Murray.〔Lucinda Byatt, ("Jamie Byng and Canongate" ), ''Solander'' magazine, Historical Novel Society, UK, Vol. 19, May 2006.〕 Originally a speciality press focusing on Scottish-interest books, generally with small print runs, its most major author was Alasdair Gray. In 1994 it was purchased from the receiver in a management buyout led by Jamie Byng, using funds provided by his stepfather Christopher Bland and his father-in-law Charlie McVeigh, and began to publish more general works, including the ''Pocket Canons'' editions of books of the Bible, as well as the ''Payback Press'' and ''Rebel Inc.'' imprints.〔Catherine Deveney, ("Canongate Books - The mane man" ), ''The Scotsman'', 24 October 2005.〕〔Iain Sharp, ("Bada Byng, bada boom" ), stuff.co.nz, 9 July 2006.〕 Byng is now the Publisher and Managing Director of the company.
In June 2010 it was announced that a "living archive" of Canongate Books was to be established at the University of Dundee in collaboration with the (University's Archive Services ), which will be used for teaching and research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dundee.ac.uk/pressreleases/2010/prjune10/livingarchive.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archives-records-artefacts.com/2010/06/canongate-books.html )〕
