We're now preparing the final layout file for printing next week. Ulysses has about 272,000 words, and our computers have been put through their paces during the typesetting process, occasionally grinding to halt. Our patience was thoroughly tested too: tiny typographic changes in the document resulted in minute-long pauses whilst the computer re-rendered the display. Type size: 2.47pt.

For Joyce we've opted for coppery-green paragraph marks: a hommage to the church roofs of Dublin. The poster will go on sale on 16th June, for Bloomsday. Check out our Facebook page soon for a chance to win an advance copy.

Our 10x magnifying glasses are now back in stock!

Announcing four new titles for December! •• Old Bill makes a return to our selection with his hit romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet: make sure to bring a magnifying glass and a box of tissues! •• We’re proud to present the much requested Don Quijote from Cervantes in the original Spanish. •• Damning social critique comes in the form of Stendhal’s great Le Rouge et le Noir: our first French language work. •• And the year closes with the sensual advice of Vātsyāyana’s Kama Sutra.

This week is release week! From Tuesday till Friday we will be releasing a new poster each day. Heinrich von Kleist’s collected Short Stories went online yesterday, and from today Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is available.
Coming up this week are 202 Fairy Tales recounted by the Brothers Grimm, naturally in their native German. And the week closes with Tolstoy’s mammoth War and Peace, which marks our first foray into non-Latin alphabets.
And as if that wasn’t enough, in December we'll be rolling out another four posters, just in time for Christmas. Ahoy!
