A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.

A Personal Commonplace

This book started as a personal project for a friend, but has become a little bigger - hence this blog. All entries are lifted directly from Leslie Pugh's notebook - what once was called a Commonplace Book - found after his death. As such they are reproduced exactly - as he heard, copied or remembered them. Read more here.

Oleanderman: The Oleander Press is an independent publisher which, for over forty years, has been publishing an eclectic, esoteric and, sometimes, eccentric range of titles in the heart of the university city of Cambridge. Including the infamous Night Climbers of Cambridge by Whipplesnaith.
