Delighted to say that sticky summer is now fading into the rear view mirror and the season of falling leaves, tweed and corduroy fast approaches. Much more my speed… What is UP you say? Well, holidays...

Join Robin & David in conversation Lord Grimdark himself; it’s only bloody Joe Abercrombie! Tables are flipped, blood flows (probably) while we discuss Joe’s latest novel THE DEVILS, movie rights, screenwriting, human error, the comedy of violence & Joe’s author journey.
(And don’t drink the C*ke.)

They're called deckled edges. It's a deliberate effect, intended to simulate the torn rather than cut page edges you get on old books.
@joeabercrombie.com not sure it’s the same in the US but they did you dirty with the hardcover edition of the Devils in Europe. Terrible quality, stuck/badly cut pages, etc. Amazon has many complaints too. :/
