Replying to @BlueChimp1 Two copies of the same book - both changed history, but the smaller one went viral. The 1623 copy has sold, but the other 3 Secret Histories I share in this video will be on my stand at this weekend’s Oxford Book Fair! #booktok #thesecrethistory #secrethistory

AD | Oscar Wilde’s only novel, The Picture Of Dorian Gray, was censored when it first published. Its journey into the world saw Wilde’s publishers remove sections without his knowledge, before being forced to revise the text himself for its appearance in book form. So the question isn’t have read Dorian Gray, the question is, which Dorian Gray have you read? This beautiful new edition of the book by Jhambo Ink gives you all of Wilde’s original text, as well as presenting the reality of the censorship in an incredibly innovative way. Not only that, it is beautifully produced in two limited editions, bound in vibrant yellow, and illustrated by Gustavo Magalhaes. It is a publication Wilde, I think, would have been proud of. To learn more visit jhamboink.com, or the link in my bio, and you can use the code TOM10 for 10% off either of the limited editions. #booktok #oscarwilde #thepictureofdoriangray #doriangray
