About Littera Scripta

Originally, the information on this site was part of my regular bookselling site. It developed something of a life of its own though, and grew until it became disorganized and difficult to maintain. I decided that it had finally grown up to a point where it needed its own room...

Thus Littera Scripta was born. The phrase is Latin for "The Written Word", and the inspiration comes from the maxim featured on the main page.

Vox audita perit, littera scripta manet
(The spoken word perishes, but the written word remains).

This site is intended to be a resource for readers and booksellers who are new to the internet. I have not tried to include an exhaustive set of links, as there are several really wonderful compilations available already (see sidebar). But I have tried to point out those pages which really shouldn't be missed.

If you think I've missed something, or find anything that's confusing or just plain wrong, then please do let me know. I welcome corrections and additions.

Enjoy!
