To whet your whistle this morning: a few details from the vintage edition of our new Christmas book - Sledges to the Rescue by Raymond Briggs. We’re reproducing all 43 black and white illustrations and the full colour cover too (we love the sixties style sun, snow and sledges) ☀️❄️🛷

And then there were sixteen! Three more titles stilll to come this year, and six next year. The question is: what to do once there are 25???

A few pen and ink drawings by Annabel Pearl - the illustrator extraordinaire who is bringing our new Halloween novel back to life. The Haunting of Lamb House by Joan Aiken references the ghostly apparitions witnessed by Henry James and EF Benson while living in this iconic literary house in Rye 👻

I took this book baby to Broadcasting House in London yesterday to make a programme for BBC Radio 3 all about The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson - our latest bestselling novel. There was chatting, outside recording and even music - with Bach on the viola to bring the whole package back to life!

From our bookshelf to your wall - we love our book covers so much we turn the most iconic designs into limited edition art prints.

‘She looked all round, at the wide open space of "Dreamland"... Oh, God, it was all such a big muddle now. She’d decided to run off: and it had all gone wrong... She took in a deep breath of Margate air and fresh rain...’ - Break in the Sun by Bernard Ashley

A lost love letter to the North - our summer bestseller - The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson. Forgotten for nearly a century, we’ve brought this novel back to life for a whole new generation of readers. Set in, and inspired by, the small seaside town of Whitby 💜 #booksky #whitby

Three out and three to go - this is 2026! Manderley Press was a mere twinkle in my eye back in 2021 but five years later it appears we’re on a publishing roll. Here’s to an autumn on the sofa with a stack of rediscovered literary gems #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Thanks for all the messages about next year’s publications - to confirm, there will be six titles and they are set in and inspired by the following places: Paris, London and London again, Norway, the English countryside and … Pompeii. I can’t wait to share more about them soon #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Coming soon - six new editions of forgotten classics, each one inspired by a building, place or landmark. Roll on 2027! #booksky

If books were cake…! It's fab to resurrect forgotten titles - and to work alongside living authors too. When I sent @fionasampson.bsky.social a finished copy of this book she introduced - Mary Shelley in Bath - she exclaimed that it was good enough to eat, like a slice of Battenberg cake 💕 #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Reading just these 4 books, you could time-travel directly into Iron Age countryside, Georgian Bath, the Channel Islands during WW2 and New York in the 1980s. And on your bookish journey you would be joined by ancient horses, imagined monsters, prize cows … and loads and loads of dogs. #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Imagine going on holiday from London to a small town on Vancouver Island … and finding a table of your own titles in a beautiful indie bookshop! Thank you Sea and Summit Books - I am one happy, and very lucky, publisher 📚💕 #booksky

Whoop - thanks to the booksellers running the #sciencefiction section of @waterstones.bsky.social in Piccadilly for showcasing our rediscovered dystopian classic - Woman Alive by Susan Ertz. Have you read it yet? The @thetls.bsky.social has called it “psychologically shrewd” #booksky

Another day another review ✨This time, with huge thanks to Emily A. Bernhard Jackson for a lovely write up of our new edition of Woman Alive in the @thetls.bsky.social, which she defined as “psychologically shrewd.” I couldn’t agree more! Read all about it: tinyurl.com/nhhxfw49 #booksky

A huge thanks to David V Barrett for reviewing our rediscovered sci novel from the 1930s - Woman Alive by Susan Ertz - in the latest edition of the @forteantimes.bsky.social - "Woman Alive is a strange mixture of utopian and dystopian … this novel is a powerful and prophetic warning." #booksky

I’m re-reading Blue Remembered Hills - the memoirs of Rosemary Sutcliff - aptly covered in cornflower cloth and gorgeously published by @slightlyfoxed.bsky.social. A perfect tonic for our times - an utterly compelling autobiography. What should I read next? #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Stocktaking day! 5 yrs ago, none of this existed - even after 8 titles, I stacked all boxes at home - under beds, along the walls, taking up a whole room at one point! Now it’s all in a warehouse - it’s not exactly glamorous but it is my very own publishing dream come true: 16 titles, 16 pallets!

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Back from hols and straight into opening parcels of freshly made limited edition art prints - of our two latest book covers - illustrated to perfection by @tomgauld.bsky.social and Alice Pattullo. DM me if you’d like a signed copy! manderleypress.com/shop/art-prints #booksky

Thank you @manderleypress.bsky.social arrived safely with a fabulous selection of bookmarks!

Sun Horse, Moon Horse by Rosemary Sutcliff - our epic coming-of-age story set in Iron Age Britain, inspired by the iconic white horse of Uffington. This book has been a quiet #bestseller and we're coming to the end of our print run. The question is - should we reprint more copies? #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Every single one of the covers for our six 2026 titles was specially designed and illustrated by a selection of the very best graphic artists from around the world. Do you have a favourite? #booksky #manderleypress

So you grow up in #Whitby, work in the Whitby Bookshop, move away in body if not spirit, republish a forgotten Whitby author whose novel is inspired by and set in Whitby. The circle is completed with this display of said book in the Whitby Bookshop. Joy! #booksky #themoonismaking #stormjameson

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Coming soon to a bookshelf near you - a brand new edition of the original 1980s gritty YA novel: Break in the Sun by Bernard Ashley. This classic was set in Deptford and #Margate and tells the story of Patsy, a young girl who runs away from home. Inspired by #dreamland and #whitstable 📚☀️ #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Happy publication day to The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson - back in print for the first time in nearly a century. It’s an honour to bring this Northern classic back to life - introduced by Maxine Peake - which is set in and inspired by the author’s hometown of #whitby #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

One year. Six rediscovered books, including: a memoir set on Broadway, a dystopian novel, a forgotten Northern classic, a ghost story in three parts, a gritty 1980s teenage adventure and a Christmassy heart-warmer for children of all ages from 5-99. Honestly, my job is a dream come true #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

What do you think about endpapers? We like to have fun with them, incorporating elements of the cover design or drawing out colours that match the spirit of the book (eg taxi cab yellow for our New York titles). These endpapers are for our new book set by the sea in #Margate tinyurl.com/2zu6hhf3

0153

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

The cover for our forthcoming YA novel is getting closer. Break in the Sun was last published in 1980 and we wanted to retain the pink and yellow colourway of the original (with its echoes of Dreamland) in our new edition - intro by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social and illustrated by Margo McDaid

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

I can still remember discovering this book by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor - author of Address Unknown - at @thelondonlibrary.bsky.social. I had to restrain myself from whooping with delight. It was a joy to bring it back to life in a new edition, with all the matching merch! #florence #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Our newest summer novel is a page-turner - an eye-opener - a heart-wrencher … and a door-stopper too! The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson is set in Whitby, inspired by Whitby and back in print after almost a century. A true northern classic, introduced to perfection by Maxine Peake #booksky

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

This morning I am happily caffeinated and busy packing up all last night’s orders - but I stopped in my tracks when I got to this one. Do you think the customer chose these three titles for their matching purple covers?!?! 💜📚🤷‍♀️

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Introducing our latest new-old summer read - The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson - a rediscovered novel from 1936 which is set in and inspired by Whitby. It’s dark, gripping and utterly page-turning. It could also prop open a door! Pre-orders will be posted out this week #booksky

0163

Manderley Press @manderleypress.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

So this arrived today! The very first copy of The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson. I know I'm biased, but it is both beautiful and epic. With the hugest of thanks to Maxine Peake and Alice Pattullo for showcasing this new edition so wonderfully. My publishing beart is bursting right now! #booksky
