Amazing New Out of Print T-Shirts You Literary Won't Want To Miss!
As big book lovers, we just love getting the chance to sit back, relax and dive headfirst into a good book.
You really can't beat getting lost in a story that can quickly whisk you off to another land. One moment you could be sat on a hot busy train chattering down the line, and then the next off on an weird and wonderful adventure on a tropical island or perhaps being chased through busy streets by some secret agents. Anything is possible!
It's this passion for stories that inspired one of our favourite clothing brands, Out of Print into action. Capturing some of the most iconic books and their artwork, they work closely with the creators and designers to ensure that the end result is a perfect reflection of the original classic. It certainly shows!
But wait it get's better, for each Out of Print T-Shirt sold, one book is donated to a community in need through their amazing partner, Books For Africa.
Take a look at some of our latest designs that have just hit the TruffleShuffle shelves this week....
TruffleShuffle Insider: Meet…James
Here it is! Working our way through all the lovely names and faces of the TruffleShuffle dream team, we've been taking a little time each month to put one unsuspecting victim member of staff in the spotlight as we fire a whirlwind of questions at them and see what spins back out.
This time it's the turn of creative genius James to take the hot seat so we can show the world, who he his, what he does here at Truffle Towers and what makes him tick. Sit back and enjoy everyone!

How long have you been at TruffleShuffle?
Our fab new Out Of Print range is out of this world!
A new delivery of Out Of Print T-Shirts is always an exciting prospect and we are very proud to present to you a couple more classics to add to your collection! Out of Print features iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great tshirts, but all are striking works of art. Best of all, for each product sold one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa.
Our first shirt is inspired by Bram Stokers Dracula and features cover art from the 1927 Grosset & Dunlap StagePlay edition set against a vintage red tee.
When asked about the meaning of the lighthouse, Virginia Woolf responded, âI meant nothing by The Lighthouse. One has to have a central line down the middle of the book to hold the design together." This wonderful tee from Out Of Print features the the first edition cover for Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse.
Love Books? We've Got You Covered!

A true classic adventure novel, written by English author Richard Adams and published back in 1972. It is a powerful saga of courage, leadership and survival; an epic tale of a hardy band of adventurers forced to flee the destruction of their fragile community... and their trials and triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity as they pursue a glorious dream called "home."

We love TruffleShuffle tees just as much as you do!
Working for the biggest online retailer of cool t-shirts, we see our fair share of amazing tees hit the shelves...! But which ones have stuck out? Do we have a favourite..and why do we love them so much? I've grabbed 10 minutes with a few of my favourite TruffleShufflers and asked them about their fashion tee-ndencies while they've worked here, and what generally makes them tick when it comes to the world of retro! Enjoy!
First up is James, the designer for TruffleShuffle (he's the one responsible for all the cool t-shirts - so we should probably take 5 minutes to applaud his geniusness!)
Favourite t-shirt ever produced? - Old Skool Gamer T-Shirt. I've been a massive computer game fan since I was about 10, so to get the opportunity to design a T-Shirt featuring all my favourite consoles and controllers was a bit of a treat.
Favourite range you've ever designed? - Sesame Street is always really fun to work with, they've got such a versatile range of characters and we're always allowed to do quite weird and wonderful things with them. Whether we've got Elmo and the gang crossing Abbey Road, joining a rock group or even recreating the Trainspotting movie poster they always make it look cool!
What was your first t-shirt ever purchased from TruffleShuffle? - My first T-Shirt from TruffleShuffle was one featuring Pac-Man and one of the Ghosts taking over Tokyo, it managed to look retro and modern at the same time and is still one of the favourite items in my wardrobe! It came from Chunk clothing who are always experts in doing weird mash ups with their characters.
