Résumé

The shadow line is a term Royle uses to describe the faint line on the top edge of the text block that allows him to see whether a book on a shelf contains an inclusion those items inserted into books and long forgotten.

Shadow Lines Résumé

Shadow Lines: Searching For the Book Beyond the Shelf Nicholas Royle

The Bookseller Season Highlight for Spring/Summer 2024

Nicholas Royles love of second-hand books and the inclusions he finds inside them, their presence betrayed by shadow lines, is about making connections. Someone has scribbled a number in a book? Hell text or call. An old address? Hell return the book to where it used to live. Follow him as he walks between bookshops, reading as he goes, on the hunt for treasure, for ways to make us feel closer to the books on our shelves, to each other and to our own lives.

Share in Royles enthusiasm for the Rev W Awdrys Railway Series, Penguin Modern Stories and Paul Austers cult classic, The New York Trilogy, as well as books in art and film.

The brilliant follow-up to the instant classic, White Spines.

Praise for White Spines

A fiercely intelligent memoir of an obsession by one of our leading prose stylists, but also a loving and enormously warm-hearted record of a life lived in books. I adored White Spines and will treasure my copyevery bit as much as Royle treasures his beloved Picadors. Alex Preston

If you love books, bookshops and browsing, this is your perfect all-year gift head to your happy place with a copy Shadow Lines today! (Note: inclusions not supplied.)
