I appreciate your concern, but I know the publishers & the designers have done their due diligence during the design process. The most important thing is that our understudied history can be freely spread across everyone who tries to claim that our communities aren't important & don't have heritage

I didn't pay for it so I didn't either way š Idk exactly the process though 'cause I was much more focussed on the text and the research but if you look at the other books by the same publisher they're very different styles, I wouldn't be surprised if they used unfamiliar techniques to fit the brief

Nah, it was designed by the publisher's designers. I think it's the bright colours makes it look like it

This has been the last 2 years of my life so I would love it if people read it and learned more about disabled people's history.
If nothing else, there's a list of nice pubs in Bristol that I wrote it at in the back so buy this instead of CAMRA's latest pub guide.

The cover of Queer Disability Through History, held by a white arm with a tattoo of a medieval amputee soldier.
After a few delays, my book Queer Disability Through History is finally available to buy, right on time for disability history month!
It covers the shared history between the Queer and Disabled communities, and everyone has said very nice things about it
