Thirty-Two Words for Field hardcover book

This image displays the back jacket of the acclaimed book Thirty-Two Words for Field (ISBN 978-0-7171-8797-3), authored by the late Irish polymath Manchán Magan. The book, which explores the profound connection between the Irish language and the landscape/nature of Ireland, was published by Gill Books, a premier independent Irish publishing house.

Gill Books has a rich heritage dating back to 1856, when M.H. Gill & Son was founded in Dublin. For many decades, the firm operated as a joint venture known as Gill & Macmillan after partnering with the London-based Macmillan Publishers in 1968. However, in 2013, the Gill family successfully bought out Macmillan's interest, returning the company to 100% Irish ownership. Today, Gill stands as Ireland's largest independent publisher and distributor, with its headquarters remaining in Dublin.

The physical production of their trade titles typically occurs in Ireland or nearby European facilities, aligning with their focus on "Irish interest" subjects. This specific edition features jacket design by Graham Thew and cover illustrations by Steve Doogan, two recurring collaborators on Magan's bestselling series of linguistic and cultural explorations.
