Libri Calidi Calcaris
Scriptorium Viatoris // The Bicycle Press
Current Itinerary: Based in Dundee and exploring Northern Britain, Summer 2026
Operating ad hoc and sub rosa. Hotspur Books is a mobile scriptorium contained entirely within two waterproof bicycle panniers. We publish experimental zines, radical broadsheets, and macaronic verses for the modern goliard.
No permanent address. No fixed itinerary. Carmina rotae—songs of the wheel. We pop up in back gardens, tavern open mics, and roadside clearings. If you spot a battered touring rig loaded with ink and paper, you have found the press.
Invocatio // Host a Reading
Are you harboring a back garden, a radical bookshop, or a hospitable pub in Angus, Fife, or the Lothians? If you wish to host an evening of experimental writing and vagrant verse, submit your coordinates below.
*Locum vestrum in tabula itineris nostri scribite.*
