To celebrate its 21st Birthday, Bloomsbury have published 21 bestselling authors in special edition paperbacks.

Each edition features an in-depth interview with the author, offering the reader a unique insight into the book. Each new edition also has reading group notes and the author's own recommended reading lists.

Libraries across Devon have copies of these titles, but Exmouth and Torrington libraries are featuring the special edition copies. Exmouth library is asking its readers to vote for the best of the 21 - and one lucky participant will win a special edition "Bloomsbury 21" canvas bag of book-goodies!
