No Starch Press books

No Starch Press is an American publishing house that has earned a cult following for its high-quality, 'geek-friendly' technical literature. Founded in 1994 by Bill Pollock in San Francisco, California, the company specializes in topics such as computer programming, cybersecurity, hacking, Linux, and LEGO-themed books.

In early 2024, No Starch Press was acquired by the multinational publishing giant Penguin Random House, marking a significant transition in its corporate history. While the brand maintains its distinct identity and focus on niche technical subjects, it now operates under the umbrella of one of the world's largest consumer publishing conglomerates, benefiting from its global distribution network and resources.
