About us

Klaus Boehm
Klaus was educated at an independent progressive school, followed by The Judd School, Tonbridge and Peterhouse, Cambridge. He has developed a wide range of reference books with a number of publishers, both paper and electronic. Titles include the Dictionary of the History of Science, British Archives, The Royal & Ancient Golfer's Handbook, The Macmillan Nautical Almanac and the prize-winning The European Community.

In addition to the Guide to Independent Schools, his joint titles with Jenny include The Student Book, the leading guide for sixth formers planning to go on to university. All their books share a common philosophy: readers are intelligent people who make their own choices; reference works are a good starting point for preliminary investigations and developing a strategy but are no substitute for primary sources.

Both his children were educated at independent secondary schools.

Klaus lives in London. He likes food, wine, music and the countryside. He dislikes precedent, pecking orders and all those with an over-developed sense of their own importance.
