  • Cambridge PBFA Book Fair.

    I Need Books For Book Fairs!

    It’s one book fair after another at this time of year. In the photo you can (just!) see my stand at Cambridge, which this year was in a new venue. It’s always been popular with younger customers and this year…

    Here’s a lovely thing which I am going to take to the Tunbridge Wells PBFA Book Fair on Saturday 3rd February. You can find out more about the fair here. It’s just one image from an album of 24 sketches…

  • Progressive Politics; or, The Labour Party in 1895.

    24th February 2017

    It’s not all frivolous stuff here you know. Today’s book is incredibly important. It’s the first ever Labour Annual, subtitled ‘A Year Book of Industrial Progress and Social Welfare.’ It is a very early account of the gradual consolidation of…

  • The Daily Mail Cookery Book; or, Add Quip To Taste.

    21st February 2017

    Oh dear. Look what’s on the menu today. Bile, with a soupçon of snide racism. A healthy dash of red-faced outrage to go with your hypocrisy; a double helping of standards, lashings of lashings…Mmmm. Give it all a good stir….

  • Warwici Inhabitatus; or, The Saxton Map Of Warwickshire

    20th February 2017

  • Kiss The Book; or, Not a Bibliomystery.

    14th February 2017

    Valentine’s Day! Time to kiss the one we love – in my case, a book. And what a great title for a book lover. I couldn’t wait to read it. A mysterious bible that curs’d the lips that touched it?…
