In 1993, Ertuğ & Kocabıyık Publications was founded for the purpose of publishing the most beautiful books in the world which bear witness to the world’s cultural heritage, while simultaneously highlighting the rich artistic tradition of Turkey.  Eminent architect Ahmet Ertuğ and president of Borusan Holding’s Board of Directors Ahmet Kocabıyık have combined their energies to produce books featuring the artwork of the Ottoman, Byzantine, Roman and Hellenistic cultures. In their efforts to introduce Turkey's abundant historical heritage and treasures to the rest of the world, Ertuğ & Kocabıyık has published 18 different art books covering such illustrious subjects as the Kariye Museum, the Hagia Sophia, the Istanbul Archeological Museum, Anatolian carpets and Surname-i Vehbi.  In 2009, the volume known as Aphrodisias, which tells the story of this magnificent ancient city, will be available for sale across Turkey.

Every detail of these books, from the photographs and articles to the paper used for printing, the color separation and binding, has been completed by world renown masters who are experts in their respective fields.  The tomes, written in English and published by the most competent Swiss and Italian printers, are sold at the world’s finest museums, cultural centers and bookstores in England, Germany, France and the United States.
