Welcome to Ystov, a bleak but whimsical city. The pages of this graphic novel zoom in and out, through panaramas of industry and market squares, to witness the varied lives of its curious inhabitants – lives of absurdities, restraints and small triumphs.

Description

The Bind charts the rise and fall of Egret Bindings, once the most prestigious firm of bookbinders in London.

In 1910 brothers Guy and Victor Egret take on an ambitious commission: a deluxe, jewelled binding of a collection of poems, A Moonless Land. It proves to be a moment of hubris. The work triggers their ruin, watched by the disapproving spirit of their father, Garrison Egret.

A darkly humorous tale of sibling rivalry and creative one-upmanship, The Bind shows once again that William Goldsmith is an incomparable storyteller and a marvellously inventive artist.
