Limited edition. Hardback and hand set letterpress on mould-made paper with tipped-in colour plates.

‘Deftly using Vera Rowley as a literary conceit, Lanyon’s “Room to Manoeuvre” is a profound work of fiction-philosophy-psychology rendered into his unique idiom’. Christopher Bollas.

‘A major work’. Simon Frazer.

‘One of the most satisfying objects and effective obliterators of ennui ever fabricated’. Peter Blegvad.

‘The book blurs the boundaries between philosophy and psychology, between linguistics and logistics, between poetry and hilarity. Each new thought comes embodied in its own drama from a gentle reverie on the way children bring the house into the garden and vice versa to a superbly comic turn placing the origins of language in the excuses of male hunters when they failed to bring home the bison’. Jane Addams Allen.

‘A distinctive achievement’. Phil Bowen.
