Still not quite got used to the reality of access to advance copies of books yet to come out.

Currently flying through Tommy The Bruce by @jamesyorkston.bsky.social, which is not out until Jan 25th.
Excellent stuff!

A book lover’s paradise opens in Edinburgh, this Thursday, and you’re invited!

The Radical Book Fair transforms Assembly Roxy into a flea market of ideas both on stage & off: book stalls share the space with community groups, cosy nooks to read & sofas for conversations with pals.
