My publisher made such a lovely cover for the paperback of The Roads to Rome that I asked if they could also do a poster! Out next week - order here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/443108...

Paperback book with cover showing a long straight road between pine trees leading to a distant city beneath blue sky. Title of book is The Roads To Rome: A Journey into Europe's Past by Catherine Fletcher. Quotes on cover describe it as 'epic and witty - Fletcher is a thoroughly enjoyable narrator' (Tobias Jones, Observer), 'A delightful and authoritative history from the ground up' (Judith Herrin) and 'an exemplar of history as travelogue' (Miles Pattenden, Literary Review).

Poster version of book cover in previous photo - looks the same but in a black picture frame and without the quotes.

This book is fantastic. I finally read it last week and it gave me so much food for thought. I swear there's been a sudden wonderful resurgence of work on #AnneBoleyn, and that delights me.

10 years after the project finished we have finally found our longitude! All the c.18th seafaring and boardroom drama you could wish for in one expertly written volume! Only £32 from @cambridgeup.bsky.social

A book cover showing a man on a bizarrely styled float in the sea trying to take a measurement with a sextant. Another sailor sits waiting next to him in a small rowing boat. The title of the book is The Board of Longitude: science, innovation and empire, written by a group of authors.
