Jap Sam Publishers, headed by Eleonoor Jap Sam, is an award-winning, independent international publishing house based in the south of the Netherlands, known as Jap Sam Books.
We publish titles that explore developments in architecture, art, philosophy, design, photography, and theory, as well as the fields that touch them, such as urbanism, landscape, sociology, and history.

We believe in a multidisciplinary, cross-border approach to knowledge production, as well as the importance of beautiful presentation.
The books we publish are not only educational and inspirational but also thoughtfully designed. We work closely with all contributors to ensure a high level of quality and care is reflected in every publication.
