The company further explains in a recent press release ”we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of authors’ lives - family, friends, domestic locations and stage and film productions of their works. We also have images of book production through the ages, decorative items, illustrated covers of important first editions and episodes from literary history”. The collection spans Egyptian hieroglyphics to Zadie Smith’s latest photoshoot, from Enlightenment poets to the current bestseller list”.
