"The Publishing Game" by Edward Stourton is a special hardback book from Hodder and Stoughton, released to celebrate the 150th birthday of the famous London publishing house.
The full wrap-around cover illustration was developed as a layered city scape of London, featuring each of the buildings and neighbourhoods which the publishers have worked from through the generations.
A couple of extras make the edition really special- the edition also features hand drawn end papers pattern of all of the emblems and logos that the publishing house has used over the years, and a beautiful detailed gold foiling on the hardback binding.
