Special limited edition of Charlemagne's Dream announced over on Insta. Very pretty. This trade book thing is quite different to the academic book experience.

"The popularity of seasonal healthcare and dietary regimes to prevent illness discovered has surprising parallels with modern day social media wellness influencers," said @jtpmedieval.bsky.social - nice coverage of a bit of research we have funded www.thetimes.com/article/4415...
