"We have created Frontier Publications for one simple reason – we want to make beautiful travel books and souvenir publications. We are motivated by the idea of producing exquisite publications people will be proud to have in their home."

- David Kirkland

His flagship publications include The Pocket Guide series of Australian tourism regions, a coffee table book on Papua New Guinea and his gift book series of destinations in the South Pacific.
