Home of the “Groundbreaking DocuVideoBook”
Some stories are too powerful to be contained by pages alone and thankfully, in our modern times, we finally have the tools to experience it all. Yet, while technology has long offered us the possibility of combining book, music and video, rarely has anyone truly used this potential to such a full and immersive effect … until now with ‘Ria John Bob Walking To A Different Beat’ written & produced by John O’Reilly, Betty Kane, Dee O’Reilly.
The Groundbreaking DocuVideoBook from DVB Publishing is more than a book – it’s a living, breathing multimedia journey providing a life story-documentary in a book.

Our Mission, Ethos & Philosophy
Our mission is to preserve precious legacies, capture the essence of life stories that inspire, connect, and endure and publish the soundtrack of lives that matter in a way that is authentic, immersive, and unforgettable.
All creatives need time and space to explore and uncover their talents and skills. They then need more time to develop and hone those talents; and only then, should they seek fame and fortune.
Our ethos is that of non-exploitation of young talent, which soon burns out if not nurtured carefully.
Our philosophy comes from our core belief that, in the right environment, talent can only grow. On protecting young talent from exploitation, optimal development is predicated for the maximum long-term benefit of their professional and personal lives.
We stand for trust, truth and time… no exploitation, no shortcuts – we protect the dignity of every story we tell.
