catalogue_autumn_2018.indd 39 31/07/2018 16:43 ‘A HOUSE TO WHICH THE BEST OF IRISH AUTHORS CAN BRING THEIR MANUSCRIPTS’

When Michael Gill founded Gill in 1968, The Irish Times described it as ‘a welcome enterprise’ and hoped it would become a home for the best of Irish authors. Since then we’ve been honoured to publish the works of great writers and experts such as Noël Browne, Garret FitzGerald, Tom Garvin, Éamon de Buitléar, Myrtle Allen, Susan Jane White, Francis Brennan and Matt Cooper. We’ve been there in good times and bad, publishing the books you choose to read on every aspect of Irish life: from the 1960s bestseller Prayers of Life to How Stormont Fell; from Rachel’s Favourite Food to The Encyclopaedia of Ireland; from the heady high of The Pope’s Children to the popular reissuing of Soundings in 2010, when perhaps we all needed a bit more poetry in our lives; from Jim McGuinness’ powerful Until Victory Always and Irelandopedia, which celebrated every county in the country, to this year’s bestsellers, Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen’s Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling, Tracey Corbett-Lynch’s My Brother Jason, and The Gospel According to Blindboy by Blindboy Boatclub. Each book, in its own way, captures a slice of life, a slice of the times we live in. But it was really Michael’s great-great-grandfather who started our story. In 1856 Michael Henry Gill, then the printer to Dublin University, purchased the publishing and bookselling business of James McGlashan, forming McGlashan & Gill, which then became M.H. Gill & Son, then Gill & Macmillan and, in 2016, simply Gill. The bookshop – popularly known as Gills and referenced in James Joyce’s Ulysses – was located on Dublin’s O’Connell Street for 123 years until it closed in 1979. Whether it’s printing, publishing or bookselling, we believe reading matters. We’ve always believed in Irish talent and we’ve always believed in the curious mind of the Irish reader. If we’ve managed to help produce something from one to satisfy that of the other, it’s been a good day at the office. Thanks for reading.
