Description:

The range of Boy's Own-style yarns adapt a graphic and typographic approach relevant to the text and period. These are not facsimiles of old books The Man Who Was Thursday takes cues from Futurist and Dada typography; a treatment appropriate to both the early 20th-century setting and the anarchist subject matter, though not a feature of mainstream publishing at the time. The Thirty-Nine Steps evokes multiple Hitchcock references, tinged with a nostalgic wash.
