Redesign for Faber Finds

19.07.11 | Benedicte Page

Faber has a new typographic look and some new July titles for its print-on-demand and e-book imprint Faber Finds.

Two "seminal" music books of the 1980s, Dave Rimmer's Like Punk Never Happened and Fred Vermorel's Starlust, will launch this week, alongside the late poet Ian Hamilton's appreciation of Paul Gascoigne, Gazza Agonistes. Sylvia Townsend Warner's Strangers in a Bag and Trevor Wilson's The Downfall of the Liberal Party 1914-1935 are also among the newly revived titles.

Faber Finds now includes over 900 books, with John Carey's John Donne, J R Leavis' The Great Tradition and Simon Heffer's Like the Roman among its bestsellers.

Imprint editor Richard T Kelly promised to continue to develop a list that he called "a reliable source of great reading matter; but also a list that can innovate and surprise."

The Faber Finds blog, encouraging readers to suggest new titles for the imprint, is being relaunched at www.faberfindsblog.co.uk. The imprint will launch locally in the Australian market in September, through Faber's partnership with Allen & Unwin.

Faber Finds launched in 2008 and republishes books and authors who have fallen out of print.
