- HarperLuxe titles feature wide margins and 14-point type—easier on the eyes than standard 11-point type, but not quite as conspicuously large as the 16-point type traditionally associated with large print.

Quotes
"A unique, ground-breaking, and beautiful volume, and a suitable reflection of the immense achievements of science."
- The Times (London)
"Bryson is as amusing as ever . . . Seeing Further is a handsome book-it is beautifully illustrated-containing thoughtful insights, eloquently expressed. As a celebration of 350 years of modern science, it is a worthy tribute."
- The Economist
"A book of cerebral riches, to be consumed at leisure. It is also beautifully illustrated."
- The Guardian
"A glittering array of scientific writing talent"
- Sunday Observer (UK)
"A celebration of science writing . . . provocative, admirable and highly readable"
- Sunday Times (London)
"A celebratory volume. . . . The history of the Royal Society is one of the most exciting tales to be told; it is a club for geniuses that has consistently made the world a better place.The roll-call of past and present fellows is the story of modern science. . . . Bill Bryson has done more than most to bring the story of science to a popular audience and here is given the enviable task of bringing together writers, historians and some of the biggest brains of our time."
- Sunday Telegraph (UK)
"An impressive and wide-ranging collection of contributors, each of them supplying an extended essay on science past, present or future. . . . Bryson was an inspired choice as editor of this book. Had a real scientist, a professional, taken on the task, the book might have been more rigorous, more esoteric, less readable. Instead, Bryson embodies the often underestimated qualities of the gifted amateur. In its benevolence and open-mindedness, not to mention its eye for the strange and unusual, the book carries his distinctive mark. His contention is that a history of the Royal Society is a history of science itself, and the sheer range of the material gathered here demonstrates that, in a quiet, undemonstrative way."
- The Spectator (UK)
"Brilliant . . . Riveting . . . This beautiful book showcases distinguished scientists making difficult concepts exciting and accessible, and eloquent narrators diverting us with page-turning tales, all in their own distinctive ways."
- The Independent (UK)
"Reflects on the 350 years of intellectual adventures . . . In his colourful introduction, Bill Bryson says what impresses him about the Royal Society is the "boundlessness of its range." This book fully lives up to that description."
- New Scientist
"Destined to become a modern classic of science writing . . . Stylish [and] stunningly accurate prose. We learn what the material world is like from the smallest quark to the largest galaxy and at all the levels in between . . . brims with strange and amazing facts."
- New York Times, on Bill Bryson's A BRIEF HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING
"Bryson has made a career writing hilarious travelogues, and in many ways his latest is more of the same, except that this time Bryson hikes through the world of science."
- People, on Bill Bryson's A BRIEF HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING
"Hefty, highly researched and eminently readable."
- Simon Winchester, on Bill Bryson's A BRIEF HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING
