Love reading about foreign places? Like the idea of reading about a favourite city but not sure where to start? Or even thinking about getting your book group to branch out with something a bit different?
You might be interested, then, to know more about Oxygen Books' city-pick series.
Each of our titles on cities from Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, London and Istanbul to Venice, Dublin, St Petersburg and New York has over sixty specially hand-picked writers on their city.
In our Paris title, for example, you'll find well-known writers like Kate Mosse, Joanne Harris and Stephen Clarke (who's also written a drole introduction) beside Proust, Hugo and newer contemporary writers - all helping to evoke the truly Parisian experience.
Over 60 amazing writers on all things Parisian
But it's not just novelists (including those in translation and some of the best new ones around) that you'll find in our books.
There's also plenty of non-fiction, whether it's from historians and travel writers or journalists and bloggers.
We've researched far and wide - with lots of help from co-editors and translators in our cities and from readers themselves - to come up with what we believe is some of the best writing on these amazing cities.
But don't take our word for it. The Times has called the city-pick series 'superb ... it's like having your own phone loaded with different tomes, except with the best passages, bite-sized chunks, just perfect to dip into.' The Sydney Morning Herald has called it 'a great idea! A sublime introduction.'
We're offering a special direct from publishers discount on all orders over ten copies (P & P free and an even better discount than Amazon).
Please contact Oxygen Books at malcolm.burgess3@btopenworld.com for more details.
If your book group resolution is to read something a bit different in 2015, we'd love you to try the city-pick way ahead.
