Seven Stones Publishing is a little independent, non profit-making small press where everything vanishes more quickly than the Spring Snow!
The press is run by Byron Machin and every item is hand-crafted in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Reviews of my recent documentaries:
“This film is the result of a life-long love of the
moorlands and its landscapes” – The Sentinel
“It’s an appealing video to watch. It’s interesting and
informative, and Byron has something of Professor Brian Cox about him;
enthusiastic about his topic, and similarly youthful and keen. Anyone with an
interest in the Peak District should give it a go!” – The
Sandbach Chronicle
“A passion for archaeology and education is the inspiration
behind this documentary ... a hard-hat to follow!” – The Buxton Advertiser
“The Teacher in Machin throws in plenty of drawings and
diagrams but this is no classroom text and after the basics are covered he
heads of underground into places that are clearly dangerous and physically demanding”
– The Crewe Chronicle
“Filming in mines obviously brought a number of challenges
for Byron, but it provides for experiences we will never forget” – The Matlock
Mercury
“Filmed in the open air and down caves, and wind and
darkness are not friends of amateur film-makers, but this only adds to the
atmosphere of the documentary” – The Congleton Chronicle
