Embark on a journey beyond the confines of our familiar dimensions with Edwin A. Abbott’s immortal masterpiece, "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions."
Crafted not merely as a novel, but as a bridge between disparate worlds of understanding, this unique illustrated edition invites you to traverse the mesmerizing realms that blend mathematics, philosophy, and social satire into a singular, unparalleled narrative.
"Flatland" unveils the story of A. Square, a resident of a two-dimensional world where life, in all its complexity, unfolds on a singular plane. But the tranquility of Flatland is jolted as A. Square is confronted by the Sphere, a visitor from a three-dimensional world called Spaceland, whose revelations shatter the simplistic foundations of A. Square’s understanding and societal norms.
Delve into a narrative that seamlessly navigates through the fascinating geometrical landscapes, and simultaneously, reflects the stark, divisive social hierarchies of Victorian England. The additional illustrations in this edition meticulously curate and amplify the visual experience, providing readers with a graphical journey through the surreal worlds contained within the text.
Explore, within these pages, a tale that transcends its geometric confines, breaking through into metaphysical contemplations and existential dialogues. A. Square's ventures from the absolute of his known reality to the perplexities of higher dimensions unravel not merely as a personal evolution but as an allegory, posing perennial questions about perception, knowledge, and the acceptance of the beyond.
This edition provides an enriched reading experience by accompanying your journey with a detailed summary, a comprehensive characters list, and an evocative biography of Edwin A. Abbott, ensuring a multi-faceted exploration of the narrative, its creator, and the underlying themes encapsulated within.
Unshackle your imagination, and allow it to wander into the flat plains and beyond, contemplating the infinities that perhaps linger, unseen, unexplored, and waiting to be discovered in dimensions beyond our own. Witness "Flatland" not merely as a narrative but as an eternal dialogue between reality and possibility.

Grab your copy of "Flatland," and let the wonders of unseen dimensions unfold before you!

    Reviews- 
    “It's the last push to reach safety for Long Pork and his very extended family. Lots of fighting, swearing, laughs and tears as Jace carries on with his bumbling, brilliant plans, stumpageddon and his "thoughts out loud". There is continuous action, with barely a moment to catch your breath throughout the whole book.” -PJ Lea, 5-star Goodreads review 
    “It's hard to keep coming up with unique situations and solutions to those situations but Jake bible does it with a F*ck ton of humor and violence. I like the characters, scratch that, I love the characters. I recommend it for the horror/humor crowd.” -Stephanie H, 5-star Goodreads review

    Yoho's first novel, The Revival, dealt with life as seen by a boy. In Tales from Comanche County, an old man with a hilariously skewed education in history and religion looks back to summers spent listening to stories told on the front porch of his Uncle Jack's Comanche County, Kansas ranch. Cattle rustler Leepy Danfer lies amoldering in his grave. The Emperor of China has come to grief. A soft-shell Oklahoman met his maker while riding a unicycle. Why? Yoho will tell you “They just plain didn't get their dad-gum bob-waar over the crick before midnight.”

Bucky is a temperamental cat who clearly wears the pants in this eccentric household. Satchel is a gentle pooch with a sensitive soul who tries to remain neutral, but frequently ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's mischief. Together, they create a hilarious tableau of animal versus human nature.

    From the series that inspired the hit London Weekend Television sitcom Bless Me, Father: A touching series of escapades from the always-rowdy parish of St. Jude’s Located in West London, St. Jude’s parish traditionally serves the poor Irish immigrants of the area, and the grouchy Father Duddleswell is an ideal leader for the group. Joining him is the young Father Neil, who serves as an even-keeled aide during the many times Duddleswell finds himself in hot water.   This compendium of adventures is sure to delight fans of the series as St. Jude’s adds another member to its clergy: Father Abe, an octogenarian with an agenda of his own. The St. Jude’s staff finds themselves embroiled in a rivalry among undertakers, a visit during Holy Week from the bishop with the longest rosary on record, a harebrained scheme to promote holy water as a fertility enhancer, and a night spent under a pool table during a pilgrimage.   Equal parts funny, sweet, and moving, Father Under Fire is a touching portrait of London in the early 1950s.
