Tuesday's Le Monde, front page, below the fold. #goodbyeamerica says it all. Gaza, Venezuela, Greenland, ICE, Ukraine. Brute power, money, corruption, extraction, piracy, murder, genocide. What an unbelievably ugly story

Book #design, stealing from the best :) First dummies from Arctic (thx I love you!) for format/layout/paper tests, reference design is @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social (love you too) but I prefer the squarer page 1:✓2 of French revolutionaries & Tschichold OF COURSE #niche as my wife says #books

Among the many things the post-Brexit UK publisher must worry about is #GPSR for which you must include a european physical postal #address o/wise e.g. no N Ireland or online europe sales. Step 1 proof of concept, verify a suitable shortform address. And the postman liked the postcard too :)

In contrast, Henry James & Lamb House. My "year of Henry James" hasn't got very far, but I felt that garden scene which opens Portrait of a Lady
