Long Barn Classics are different. This is emphatically not just another reprint series.

Each title will be published in a limited edition of 500 copies, hand-numbered. They will printed on fine quality paper, cloth bound, embossed, and presented in a handsome slipcase.

They will be illustrated by some of the best artists – chiefly wood engravers – in Britain.

The first 50 of each will be sold with an accompanying folder containing limited edition prints of the full-page illustrations, signed and numbered by the artist.

They will be beautiful books, not too precious to hold and to read, precious enough to be kept for a lifetime.

The first title, to be published in September 2010 is A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens.
With wood engravings by Andy English.

Price for the main printing of 450 will be £20.
Price for the special edition of 50 will be £50.
