A mix of memoir and narrative Nonfiction, White Spines is a book about Nicholas Royle's passion for Picador's fiction and Nonfiction publishing from the 1970s to the end of the 1990s. It explores the bookshops and charity shops, the books themselves, and the way a unique collection grew and became a literary obsession. Above all a love song to books, writers and writing.
