TIGER OF THE STRIPE

Welcome to Tiger of the Stripe

Tiger of the Stripe is a small, independent book publisher based in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames in southwest London. Richmond is an attractive and historically-interesting town. It was known as Sheen (Scēon in Old English) until Henry VII built a new palace here in about 1500 and renamed the town after Richmond in Yorkshire. In turn, it gave its name to Richmond, Virginia. We are fortunate to have both Richmond Park and the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, on our doorstep, and Hampton Court is also close.

Our second book for the iBookstore, Enemies of Books, is now available. It is in ePub3 format but not fixed layout because I thought that wasn't suitable for iPhones and iPod Touches. It looks great and has embedded fonts (well, only one), drop caps and pop-up footnotes. The last-named is almost essential for books with a lot of footnotes. Get it from the US iBookstore here: or the UK store here:

Caravan Cooking

The Versatile Vegetarian

This book shows that you don't need a large kitchen, expensive ingredients and fancy equipment to produce good food. Faith Hancock worked as a nanny in France before travelling to Thailand, where she learned to cook Thai style.

On her return she lived in an old VW camper van, which taught her to cook in small spaces!

After a year spent in Australia she decided to make writing her career, and to combine her two greatest loves – good food and good writing. She is currently studying for a degree in English Literature with the Open University, and was placed first in a short story competition in 2012. She has also written an ebook which is available on www.moneysavingplanetsaving.co.uk.

She has lived in a caravan for 5 years now, and is learning daily about new recipes and the best way to cook and store food in a smaller than average kitchen.
