Warm thanks to Simon at @biggreenbooks.bsky.social for a very useful (if sobering) chat about the book supply chain! Go thee unto www.biggreenbookshop.com and help us all prop up this strange world of publishing.

Anyone? Is #publishing still alive on this platform? (Or does anyone actually read Bluesky..?)

Wearing my publishing consultant hat, are there any independent booksellers reading this who would be up for a quick conversation via DM or email? (Please share this if you know such a person.)

Yeah, I'm feeling quite run down too. I can get to it tonight… but getting home is the problem. I think this might just be fate saying 'have a rest'! Hope you have a restorative evening if I don't see you there.

Nature is patiently taking over in my favourite wood.
An overgrown trailer A discarded child’s toy A moss-covered tyre Rusting metal and crab apples galore

I'd always recommend the indie journal Undefined Boundary (a great mix of hauntological/psychogeographical/countercultural themes), and of course especially so the latest one as it has my article about Charles Dickens and Richard Dadd in it 😀 temporalboundary.bigcartel.com/product/unde...
Undefined Boundary: The Journal of Psychick Albion Volume 4/Issue 1 PREORDER
PLEASE NOTE: This is a presale and copies will be posted when available in September. If you have other items included in this order they will be...

Finally finished Offa’s Dyke Path yesterday (a third in 2021 and 2023, a third last week) – the first national trail I’ve actually completed! And with my 16yo son – happy times.

My short piece about Oliver Cromwell and his wife Elizabeth seems to have struck a chord with people, including someone related to them. www.gethistories.com/p/mrs-protec...
