Sunlit tranquility or moonlit mystery, E. Adveno Brookeâs The Gardens of England (1858) has it all.
âAt its best, literature is pure encounter: it resists consumption because it cannot be used up and it cannot expire. The bonds that are formed between readers and writers, between readers and characters, and between readers and ideas, are meaningful in a way that the bonds formed between consumers and products can never be. Literature demands curiosity, empathy, wonder, imagination, trust, the suspension of cynicism, and the eradication of prejudice; in return, it affords the reader curiosity, empathy, wonder, imagination, trust, the suspension of cynicism, and the eradication of prejudice.â
Eleanor Catton on literature and elitism, prompted by a commenterâs objection to our use of âcrepuscular.â
âLolita is famous, not I.â

Typography Lust
We have a bit of a 'thing' about typeface and fonts here at Skiddaw Books. The ampersands below are a wonderful example of how colour can help bring a typeface's personality to life.
Vivid Red Ampersands
I printed these bright red ampersands for friends and family a while ago from woodblocks dating back over 100 years. I really liked the four different styles; a very musical character (which formed the basis for a family wedding invite that I helped create), a super fat face version, a smaller almost â70s shape and a narrow western-style ampersand.
The blocks were found at the St. Bride typographic library in London, where I printed them using a Vandercook onto thick, textured, off-white stock.
Due to the woodblocks natural ageing and past use there are little marks and dings which I didnât try to cover upâit just adds to the charm.
There are a few unframed ones available to buy on the Type Worship Shop. I thoguht they may make a nice, alternative, valentineâs gift
