Quirks and Foibles

Welcome to Quirks and Foibles, the book publishing imprint of The Print Register Ltd. As the name suggests, we like to publish quirky titles in various genres: poetry, short stories, novels and novellas and even the odd memoir.

We are dedicated to celebrating the creative eccentricity of the human brain, so if you have an English language manuscript sitting on your laptop and you think it might tickle our fancy, why not send it in? If it makes us laugh, cry or howl with anger, we’ll consider your work, provided it is your own distinctly human effort and not something dreamt up by Marvin the Paranoid Android.

The Guild of Overthinkers
The Guild of Overthinkers
The Guild of Overthinkers is a sharp, lyrical, and darkly funny exploration of what happens when the mind refuses to rest. In this intimate collection, Nicholas Trumble (writing as Mulbert) turns sleepless nights, spiralling thoughts, and the strange theatre of anxiety into vivid, unforgettable poetry.
These poems move between humour and heartbreak, capturing the restless churn of an overactive brain, monumental migraines, childhood fears, bizarre compulsions, and midnight catastrophising that overthinkers know too well.
With striking honesty and a voice that’s both tender and incisive, The Guild of Overthinkers offers comfort, recognition, and a sense of camaraderie for anyone who has ever felt trapped inside their own head.
Around 30 poems in 92 pages. Great fun for your overthinking friends.

Wee Meanderings on the Drove Road to Daramach
Wee Meanderings on the Drove Road to Daramach
WEE MEANDERINGS ON THE DROVE ROAD TO DHÀRAMACH is Alan McLeod’s first Collection of very short stories, essays and polemics. Fictional and occasionally philosophical, once again McLeod attempts to capture that most elusive of romantic butterflies – the Highland Geist. McLeod has been described by one Reviewer as mellifluous, by another as blasphemous.
