The paperback edition of The Rose Field just landed. The French edition is announced. Getting a shiny TBoD omnibus or a wondrous Folio Society TRF edition is only a matter of time. I DO need room on my bookshelves. It means many nice non-HDM books will end stacked up on the floor. I'm a srafomaniac.

Very sad to report that the atoms of the French website Cittàgazze have dissolved into thin air after 24 years of sraffie activity. It has been an *incommensurable* joy to be an active part of this fabulous adventure for over 2 decades along with Nef & the team. Lyra made us friends for life.❤️ G.

Header of the French website Cittàgazze, which ceased activity on July 20, 2026 after 24 years of active service in the sraffie world. The header is based on the graphical theme of the 2007 Golden Compass movie, featuring Lyra (an alethiometer in hands) and roaring Iorek on an artic, icy landscape.
