About Us

CSA WORD (formerly CSA Telltapes Ltd.) have been producing quality audio books since 1989. We are truly independent with no large book publisher behind us - preferring to select only books that tend to work well on audio rather than releasing an audio version of an author’s latest novel irrespective of its quality or merit.

At CSA Word we tend to specialise in timeless literature and believe that every one of CSA’s audio books should sound as good now as they did when first published. We have built a formidable list of titles since that time and have won a number of awards on both sides of the Atlantic.

The main participants are Managing Director Clive Stanhope and Audio Commissioning Editor Victoria Williams. Both of us have had considerable experience in the world of audio books and believe passionately in them - especially the art of matching the reader to the book so that the overall finished product works well from every aspect. Our policy is also to keep the customer satisfied by a very prompt service and maintaining a complete stock list.

In addition to producing top quality audio CDs and cassettes for you to buy, CSA WORD RADIO has been producing highly acclaimed independent radio series for the BBC for more than 12 years.
