In addition, the Diary will be created in association with award-winning designers Pentagram, ensuring a week-by week layout that is both functional and stylish. It provides plenty of space for all practical uses, as well as enough reading matter to fill a book.
Reviews / Votes
"The Canongate Diary is one of the most exciting publishing projects I have ever been involved with. We are aiming to create the equivalent of a great festival - Meltdown, say, or Hay-on-Wye. Every year, the Diary will be compiled by a different guest editor with a straightforward brief - bring together the most interesting, most thought-provoking, most original writing, artwork, photography, new and old. As such, I can think of no better inaugural editor than Brian Eno, whose wit, erudition and wide-ranging reading will illuminate 2007, and beyond." Andy Miller, Canongate Non - fiction Editorial Director"More details
