Thanks Sam Read Bookseller for recommending E.M. Ward's 'Forest Silver': a largely-forgotten 1940s novel with many lyrical evocations of the #Grasmere area. I really enjoyed it!

Happy paperback publication day to the glorious Some Of Us Just Fall by Polly Atkin 🌼🌊💜

Squeeeee! I was right. My Sam Read Bookseller package was indeed Witchmountain's new book on cyanotype printing. Thank you Kim for all the beautiful extras too. This is stunning and so beautifully put together. Can't wait to experiment.

My Search Press Books 🎨🧶📚 #cyanotype book arrived early and it's resting on this shelf in Sam Read Bookseller like an exhausted swift after a long journey. I hope it doesn't nest too long though!
