Welcome to the Academic Book Collection

 

Like those wretched Crimean soldiers who ate their boots for want of other sustenance, today’s booksellers are obliged to wrap their dentures around the most unsavoury fare in order to survive. In the manner of courtly food tasters, our duty is to sort the edifying from the indigestible, the exquisite truffle of a text, or intellectual beef on the bone, from those genetically-modified pink blancmanges wobbling around publishers’ offices.

 

We seek to ensure that none of our offerings rots the brain, turns the stomach or induces that embarrassing wind which follows ingestion of many recent philosophical and literary works.

 

The feast spread over these pages is guaranteed to satisfy the most discerning and eclectic palate, leaving you pleasantly sated at minimal cost. So, no need to microwave those hobnails just yet.
