So, I spent two hours on Sunday afternoon writing today’s post about all the lovely books published on Super Thursday. Then, for reasons unknown, it disappeared. Completely. I attempted to resurrect it, but with no joy, so I abandoned the idea and read Awful Auntie by David Walliams instead.
I had assumed that there wouldn’t be a Tuesday post this week, but what do you know, but Mr B’s announces that they are branching out into publishing. Read all about it here. What a great name for a company! Fox, Finch & Tepper. Doesn’t it sound wonderfully literary? It summons up all sorts of ideas. A Dickensian firm of solicitors or a magical sweetshop from Terry Pratchett. Most of all, it sounds very “Mr B’s”.
This is such wonderful news. You know how much I love Mr B’s and the team there. They are knowledgeable, and clever and lovely people in fact, all round good eggs. They deserve to be successful, I wish them all the best for this project. I for one will be straight down to Bath to buy their first publications.
Their first books look really good! Well done Mr B’s!
I knew they were quite successful as a bookshop, but 1200 copies of The Missing? I bought that one the last time I had a book spa π Guess what’s just moved up to next in the TBR list π
