        We love books about everything and can’t get enough of them. Because books are much more than letters and colours on paper. Books are adventures, experiences and feelings. In books you can find friends, like-minded people or evil villains against whom you can defend yourself. Every time you read a book, a spark of magic jumps over into our “real” life and enriches it. As passionate graphic designers we not only care about stories, but also about the beauty, diversity and creativity of a book. We love to invent new fantasy worlds and to design figures. We also want our stories to make you smile and invite you to immerse yourself in unknown worlds and simply give you pleasure.

        A Visitor's Guide

        by Gerard Gorman

        The wildlife of eastern Europe is one of the unexpected attractions of a region best known for its cultural assets: relatively few visitors are aware of the diversity on their holiday doorstep, from brown bears and wolves to numerous birds no longer common in the west of the continent. Accessible and beautifully illustrated, the guide will appeal both to the holidaymaker and to the serious naturalist seeking a compact volume to carry around. And after the trip, it will also make an attractive souvenir. The guide covers the wildlife of: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina._x000D_ _x000D_ Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir.

        National Thought in Europe

        A Cultural History

        by Jope Leerssen

        Bringing together sources from many countries and many centuries, this study critically analyses the growth of nationalism - from medieval ethnic prejudice to the Romantic belief in a nation’s “soul”. The belief and ideology of the nation’s cultural individuality emerged from a Europe-wide exchange of ideas, often articulated in literature and belles lettres. In the last two centuries, these ideas have transformed the map of Europe and the relations between people and government. Tracing the modern European nation-state as the outcome of a cultural self-invention, cross-nationally and historically, Leerssen also provides a new approach to Europe’s contemporary identity politics. This study of nationalism offers a startling new perspective on cultural and national identity. National Thought in Europe was shortlisted for the Europe Book Prize.

        Passport to Enclavia

        Travels in Search of a European Identity

        by Vitali Vitaliev

        What does it mean to be European? The answer lies in Europe's forgotten enclaves - tiny fragments of one country cut off and completely surrounded by another, stuck between two different cultures, currencies and sometimes even languages. Vitali explores the idiosyncrasies of these enclaves, just as a uniform European identity - the Euro - was being imposed by Brussels. An acclaimed investigative journalist, Vitali was able to uncover the roots of the current EU crisis ten years ago, just when the Euro was being introduced. This makes his book extremely topical and surprisingly up-to-date.
