As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. Hansebooks newly publishes these books and contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future.

In 3 volumes Bunting (1773–1843) published almost 300 airs and practically single-handedly rescued Irish music from oblivion. The present collection, the last of the trilogy, is enriched by an invaluable 100-page preface and followed by 151 Irish airs arranged for piano, with the Irish names of the airs, their authors, and dates of composition.
