I have a book coming out next month! It’s called The Book-Makers: A History of the Book in 18 Remarkable Lives. It’s published by Bodley Head in the UK, and Basic Books in North America. If you’ve enjoyed reading these Substack despatches, I think you might enjoy this book, too. It’s the story of the printed book told through the lives of the men and women who have done remarkable things with the form – from Wynkyn de Worde in later 15
Any plans for a paperback version? It sounds so interesting but the way that I use books (reading them and giving them away) is not conducive to hardcovers.

Pre-order placed! Looking forward to this one! Stack on!
