We're live! Well, our little film is.
07 November 2010
Teaser is such a naff and out of date word, but, well, that’s what this is. As promised, here’s our very short film on peoples’ very first impressions of our second book Tree Of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer. Quite wonderful, we think, for all its subtlety and honesty. Actually, forget the quite. We fucking love it.

VE @Glug in Shoreditch
30 October 2010
Anna and I did a little talk at Glug on Thursday. Around the broad theme of storytelling. Our first proper public live talk and we were a bit nervous. Which is really quite funny when our other day jobs and last 15 years of work have been and still are full of presenting, giving talks and standing up in public. Maybe it was because we were talking alongside some great guys, like Jamie Weick (of Airside), Sean Griffiths (of FAT) and Richard Hogg (who’s also in a band called Satans Cock).

What a week. After 18 months in the making, writing, cutting, binding, test dummying, not workings, wrong paper, different cover we will have finished copies of Tree of Codes in four days’ time. With proof copies in our hands last weekend, we thought it was time to take the book to the streets and see what people made of it.

We like to go out at night, too. Sometimes.

There’s this thing I’ve been hearing about called The Literary Salon. It’s been going for two years now, so as ever, I’m a little late to the party. Craig Taylor, our friend over at Five Dials, said he was going to do a little reading there, so I thought, what the hell, I’ll check it out.

#Shandy, #Thank you

We’ve been working on our re-imagined Shandy for the last year or so. Having spent months pouring over other editions of the book, our own manuscripts, too many proofs to bear thinking about, choosing specially mixed Pantone colour swatches and no doubt many other things—it’s a wonderful feeling seeing the book in people’s hands.

Books in Glass Cabinets
07 October 2010
If we really wanted to, we could be making our books in super small editions. When I say super small, I mean no more than 100 copies. And if we really wanted to, we could sell them in Printed Matter in New York or BookArt Bookshop in London. Not like we have anything against those kinds of books, or those stores. We think they’re amazing: book art institutions.
