What do we mean by hand marbled paper? It's a traditional process for adding painted oils to paper to give a striking effect. Here are the cover papers for our M.R. James edition being made by the team we use in the English county of Wiltshire. The oils are placed on water and the patterns are threaded through them. The paper is then placed on top and the oils are pressed on to the paper by the opposition of the water molecules, whilst the oils keep the water from seeping into the paper. The papers are then gently peeled away. The process is then repeated for the next sheet and the finished pieces are left to hang throughout the day and overnight until they set. It's the individuality of this process that makes every cover unique This is hand-marbling. This is perfection being lots of little things being done well. This is one of the many ingredients that go into making the covers for OSP leather editions. Support us to continue to support these kind of expert artisan skills and the artisans and artists that make them.

We are on a mission to find the great playwrights of the future That's why we're giving a $2500 Prize to write one Act of a play based upon an episode in the Lives of Plutarch. Two finalists will have their Act performed on the London stage. Like Shakespeare and his treatment of Julius Caesar, Pericles, Timon of Athens and Antony & Cleopatra, we are asking you to bring forth a work worthy of posterity from the roots of history. The deadline for submissions is Monday 3rd August. Now is the time to write yourself into history.
