Lynn Strongin author of Amanda Flamer and Lace-Circled Darkness

After thirty years of being published in North America, it was refreshing as a winter day or spring shower to have Alan and Andrew publish my poetry in England. There was no cavil over "archaic" punctuation or layout. The format of both books (I was so impressed with the first one I ordered another) is handsome and the cover striking. I feel accepted in England where the roots of my language after all began.

Trace Currall author of This Panopticon Life

…some guy press-ganged me into writing this with the promise of free sex, he told me if I allowed him to do something called layout with some kind of acrobat in a Mexican house, I would never look back…funnily enough with my dignity round my ankles, that’s all I ever seem to do. Luckily, the service was free. Now, buy my book This Panopticon Life, or I will come round your house and demonstrate to you personally how the cover-design, layout, and editing are done with ruthless German efficiency.
