- "This is where we work: Truncheon Books. There's usually desks and crap piled up everywhere but we cleaned up for today. Those are the books that we put out. We publish our 'zine once a month, except last August when my partner forgot to pay the printer. We let local artists hang their stuff up without ripping them off on commissions, we do performances over there, and a few of us live upstairs, and that you don't want to see. It's a disaster zone."

About[]
Truncheon Books is a publishing house consisting of 5 employees, including Jess. It is first mentioned when Jess Mariano turns up at Rory's grandparents' house to show her the short novel he wrote called The Subsect, which was published by Truncheon books.[1]
The owners/founders of Truncheon books (who are seen) are Chris and Matthew, Jess joins the company later, But you don't actually see Truncheon books until they host an open house and Jess invites Luke, April and Rory. He is surprised at Luke's appearance and even more so when he meets his cousin. Luke asks Jess to give him a tour.[2]
