Adam Dant’s Maps Of London & Beyond
The Map of Spitalfields Life
Generously praising the quality of the books we have published, Richard Bucht, bookseller at Hatchards, described Spitalfields Life Books as ‘the last art publisher.’ Consequently, I am delighted to announce our most ambitious publishing project to date which is a mighty monograph undertaken in proud collaboration with Batsford Books (established 1843).
On June 7th, we are publishing MAPS OF LONDON & BEYOND, a spectacular hardback containing all your favourite maps by our Contributing Cartographer, Adam Dant. Large pages allow the reader to study all the astonishing and hilarious details – from gin-sodden drunks brawling in the gutter to the lofty paragons of enlightenment thought – and each plate is annotated with erudite commentary offering hours of fascination for the curious.
MAPS OF LONDON & BEYOND includes an interview with the artist by The Gentle Author.
Please support this ambitious venture by pre-ordering a copy, which will be signed by Adam Dant with an individual drawing on the flyleaf and sent to you on publication.
