Celebrating the arrival of a brand-new edition of The President in the UK.
The worldwide inauguration of The President’s Pocket Hardback Edition was held in London (UK) on Sunday 7 September 2025 at The Common Press Bookshop.
The evening was hosted by Dr Jaco Barnard-Naudé, legal professor, author, and winner of the Ingrid Jonker Prize for his debut poetry collection, om my kastele in Spanje te sloop.
With the Artist Edition of The President nearly sold out, this was the first time readers anywhere in the world had the opportunity to get their hands on the brand-new A6 pocket hardback. The Pocket Hardback was gorgeously printed and hand-bound by Pulp Paperworks in Johannesburg and published by PRONK.
Signed copies of the hardback are now available for purchase in person from The Common Press in Shoreditch for £20. It will soon be available for UK residents to purchase online.
