The Calligrapher's Night sounds like a wonderful story. I'll have to keep that in mind. The book cover is lovely as well.

Without even glancing at all the titles I couldn't help but say that each and every cover of the books you pictured is so fascinating in its own, unique way. I love book cover art!
A bit slow on the uptake here, but i'm writing from Hesperus Press and wanted to thank you for your attentions. Our Autumn 2007 catalogue has just come into stock, and I wondered whether you would like a copy? If so, please email with a postal address at enquiries@hesperuspress.com.
