About BGS Books
A small publisher,
by design.
Independent 11+ publishing since 2019 — every page written, tested and rewritten by us, not licensed from anyone else.
Our story
It started with one book.
The gap
We published our first 11+ book because good-quality CSSE preparation was hard to find. It sold on Amazon — then tutors found it, and kept coming back.
The vocabulary problem
Tutors and parents kept buying the same established vocabulary books — and kept complaining about them. So we built our own, working with tutors and children until every exercise earned its place. Those books are now our best sellers.
Filling gaps, not copying
Every title since has followed the same rule: publish where families are poorly served, never copy-paste what an established brand already sells.
Around the world
What began as one CSSE book is now a catalogue read by families in 13 countries — still written the same way: by us, with tutors, for children.
What we stand for
The BGS way.
Fill gaps, don’t copy
We publish where families are poorly served — not another lookalike of what’s already on the shelf.
Made with tutors & children
Real lessons and real pupils shape every book before it is printed.
Every page in-house
We write it all ourselves — so when a tutor flags a question or an exam changes, we fix it fast.
Honest value
High quality and generous content at a fair price — never thin books at thick prices.
Trying to be the most useful book on the shelf.
Not the biggest. Just the one that actually helps.
