Hale & Iremonger is an Australian independent publisher. It was founded in 1977 by Sylvia Hale, John Iremonger and Roger Barnes.[1]
John left the company in 1980, moving to Allen & Unwin.[2] By 2002, when Sylvia became involved in NSW state politics,[3] some 500 books had been published on politics, urban history, women's studies and poetry.[1]
In 2010 Hale & Iremonger's list was bought by Michael Rakusin, formerly of Tower Books.[4]
