Jane Austen Matchmakers

12 April 2011

Remember those contracts we had designed and put a lot of love into a few weeks ago? We did a lot of talking about the contracts, but not much talking about who the contracts were with. Well, they’re all signed and the ink’s just about dry, so we can now tell you that we’ll be working with Adam Thirlwell on a brand new book due to come out early next year.

Adam is the author of Politics (a book more about sex than about politics), The Escape and Miss Herbert (with a few beloved Shandy squiggles sprinkled throughout) and we are just so damned excited to be working with him.

We’ve matched Adam up in true Jane Austen style with Studio Frith to design the book, which we’re thinking will spark some real innovation and passion. Frith’s work has graced the likes of the V&A and the Serpentine Gallery, and one of our personal faves, her very sexy design of the "_Rose Bakery_ ":http://www.phaidon.co.uk/store/food-cook/breakfast-lunch-tea-9780714844657/ cookbook.

And seeing that we’re just about to head out to the bizarre world of publishers, distributors and agents at the London Book Fair (for the first time in our lives), we think innovation and passion is just what we hope to take with us to Earl’s Court.
