“Imagine if the literary greats of 1920s Paris were not in fact writers but shopkeepers…” Thrilled that our new book Boutiques Littéraires is featured on the latest hilarious episode of @BacklistedPod - do have a listen! Thanks to @i_am_mill_i_am and the team!
The Mainstone Press retweeted
New episode up now. A large format, lavishly produced COFFEE TABLE BOOKS edition, fully illustrated throughout, and covered hard by @i_am_mill_i_am @johnmitchinson and @birchos. backlisted.fm/episodes/207-c…
The Mainstone Press retweeted
In our coffee table books special, we cover volumes on, variously: British folklore; Coventry Cathedral; assassinations of the 20th century; imaginary Parisian bookshops; letters of note; British jazz LPs 1960-1975; and cheese. backlisted.fm/episodes/207-c…
“If I went round to somebody’s house, and they had a copy of ‘Boutiques Littéraires’ sitting on the table, I would marry them!” Thank you @i_am_mill_i_am & @BacklistedPod ! #bestquoteever
