Revenge of the Librarians Launch Party With Tom Gauld

The one and only Tom Gauld is back! To celebrate the release of his latest strip collection, Revenge of the Librarians, Tom will be here signing books, drinking drinks and chatting chats on Wednesday 31st August, 7-9pm!
Tom will also be creating an exclusive bookplate for us, signed and limited to just 300 copies! Copies can be pre-ordered via our online store.
Tom's status as one of the UK's premiere humourists and cartoonists is on full display in Revenge of the Librarians, a collection of his literary cartoons. Publisher Canongate says:
"Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the author Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date.
Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones.
Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the wilful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets! Quail before the critic's incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the paragon of creative productivity!
Revenge of the Librarians contains even more murders, drubbings and castigations than The Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, Baking For Kafka or any other collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent Gauld."
Don't miss the opportunity to get your copy signed by Tom right here on Wednesday 31st August, 7-9pm. If you can't make it but would like to order a copy for mail order or collection, run, don't walk, to our online store now!
