About Curuchaga Books

Made to be used, not shelved.

Curuchaga Books is the independent imprint of author Tomas Curuchaga. Every title starts with a real problem, a real reader and a simple test: will this book earn its place on the kitchen table?

i.

Built around real life

Printed tabs, the right prompts and room to write. Our planners are organized the way families actually need to find things.

ii.

Easy on the eyes

Large print editions in 16-point type, generous margins and calm layouts, because a useful book should never be a struggle to read.

iii.

Checked before print

Every logic puzzle is solved by code to confirm it has exactly one answer. Every page is proofed for print before it reaches you.

A good book for real life does not ask for your attention. It quietly gives you back your time.
The idea behind every Curuchaga book
