We're entering the home stretch with the illuminated Gawain and the Green Knight campaign, and we're trucking along to get the slip-covers with them! There's always a bunch of folks who find out about the campaigns too late; please share it around so folks can get theirs!
We're just a handful of pledges away from our next stretch goal - when we unlock that, everyone will get an illuminated book plate to go along with their illuminated Gawain and the Green Knight books! Preview coming shortly.

READ POEM π«΅
HOLY CRAP THIS IS GOOD
Robinson Jeffers is THE MAN
i really only know him from Hurt Hawks, referenced in an epigraph to a chapter of Watership Down β and even if he'd only written that one poem, that'd be sufficient to place him in the pantheon of poetic greats
i'll have to read this on a 2AM poetry stream one of these days, along with Hurt Hawks... which also has to do with violence

Our books are filled with artworks by brilliant new artists - weβre reimagining the classics for future generations.
We commission artworks that would have been hung in galleries in a different era.
Like these beautiful oil illustrations in our edition of Dostoyevskyβs masterpiece, Crime & Punishment, from @j_elliot_art .
Notice the clear inspiration from the likes of Hopper, Modigliani and John Singer Sargent, working within the great tradition of the fine arts.
Support us in giving commissions and work to the best young artists working today. Together we can make the world a more beautiful place.
You can get Crime & Punishment here: oldsovereignpublishing.com/cβ¦
Along with a number of other incredible classics.
