With two blogs in a week I am breaking new ground, but what the heck: more news.
Natural History of Cape Clear - I have finally got this back and am about to send it to the printers. So it should be available in a month or so. This is of course one of the rarest (and by some margin the most expensive, second-hand) of all the Poysers. Cape Clear is the last to be revived as a POD, and its publication will mean the entire list is now back on sale).
I've given away quite a lot of the original Poyser covers now, so if you need one for your collection I'd urge you to contact me pretty much right away ...

Lost a dust jacket?
An unfortunate part of the POD production process is that original copies of the books had to be destroyed in order to produce digital scans. As you can imagine, this broke my heart.
But the upshot of this is that I now have a lot of original first edition dust jackets hanging around the office. As any book collector knows, jackets get ripped, or discoloured, or faded, so I thought I'd offer these up for any readers or collectors of the series who have lost a dust jacket and would like a replacement. Here, in no particular order, are the jackets I have to hand:
