Allow us to introduce the wonderful Teckle Books! They have a mission which isn't to reinvent the wheel. Their goal is to make people laugh. A very honorable endeavor.

‍

Teckle Books feel that literature doesn’t need to be serious and pretentious to be enjoyable. After all Shakespeare wrote comedies as well as tragedies, didn’t he?

There is a need for books that make us laugh. Yeah, they can make us cry, think and question the world as well, but comedy is an art form in itself and they want to discover and nurture writers with the ability to leave readers doubled over with laughter.

‍

An important point of principle is that they believe the reader nor the writer should be ripped off. None of their publications will ever appear in prohibitively expensive hardback format just to wring a few more quid out of loyal customers (should they ever get any) and all ther books will be priced to ensure inclusivity while properly rewarding authors for their hard work and creativity.

“Boundlessly imaginative, gleefully silly, occasionally nightmarish and always inventively filthy, The Tartan Special One is by some distance

the funniest book I’ve read in years.”
Christopher Brookmyre.
