In 2025 Renard turns five years old, and this volume celebrates the first half-decade of its operation. A Renard Press Edition, this anthology is a special numbered limited-edition of the Publisher’s selection of some of the finest work we’ve had the pleasure of publishing.

Framed with classic examples of each genre, the book collects some fifty books inside one jacket, pulling together a broad church of writers. Reading is, after all, one of the best ways to explore, to meet people and places we might otherwise not; so, like any diet, it should be varied.

How better to crown five years of pushing boundaries, daring to be different, than producing such a memento – elegant and handsome, but also broad in content and creativity, inspiring  and thought provoking.

All proceeds go to our Read It Forward scheme, raising funds for Bookbanks.
