Front cover of the book Drayton and Mackenzie by Alexander Starritt, propped on a cushioned chair. The vibrant cover features a bold blue, yellow, and white design with swirling patterns and a central rosette symbol. Behind the book is a cushion embroidered with a Quentin Blake-style illustration and the quote: βWhat sort of book would you like to read next?β with a visible Roald Dahl tag.
Back cover of Drayton and Mackenzie by Alexander Starritt. The text describes the story of two contrasting men, James Drayton and Roland Mackenzie, whose unexpected reunion sparks a plan that could change the world. The description highlights themes of friendship, ambition, and impact against a backdrop of 21st-century upheaval. A short author bio notes that this is Starrittβs third novel. The bottom section identifies the book as an uncorrected proof copy, set for July 2025 publication.
Thanks @swiftpress.bsky.social for sending me #DraytonandMackenzie by Alex Starritt. It sounds great! Publishing July 2025 ππ #BookCommunity #booksky
31.03.2025 18:28 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0A proof copy of the book One Summer in Provence by Carol Drinkwater is propped up on a white wicker chair with a cushion behind it. The cushion features an illustration of a girl holding books and a quote that reads, βWhat sort of book would you like to read next?β The chair is part of a cozy reading nook with patterned cushions.
A printed promotional sheet for One Summer in Provence by Carol Drinkwater is placed on a polka-dotted tablecloth. The sheet includes the book cover, a summary of the story, and a brief biography of the author. The Corvus Books logo is visible at the top, along with a quote praising the author.
