Wet proofs have arrived from Clays and the colour looks fabulous- it’s been a battle but we got there. With thanks to Shabana, production and the printers at Clays. China Room by Sunjeev Sahota is due to be published by Harvill Secker later this year. It’s brilliant #sunjeevsahota #harvillsecker #vintage #penguinrandomhouse #proofs #production #clays #newnovel #brilliantbooks #chinaroom
Names of the Women by Jeet Thayil, hot from the printers, another beautifully produced book with thanks to Production and Clays. It has a short jacket over cream boards with Matt gold foil. The cover is gorgeous blue detail from the Wilton Diptych. It took, what felt like ages to reach this design. Names of the Women is a novel about the Women whose roles were suppressed, reduced or erased in the Gospels. The back cover has quotes from Marlon James, Tessa Hadley, Chris Power and Jennifer Croft. ‘Achingly beautiful. Powerful, poetic and profoundly feminist’ Jennifer Croft Published by Jonathan Cape, VINTAGE Penguin Random House #newtitles #jonathancape #newnovels #jeettayil #vintage #reimagined #namesofthewomen #stories #bluecover #penguinrandomhouse

‘Love was the final consolation, would set ablaze the fields of my life in one go, leaving nothing behind. I thought of it as a force which would clean me and by its presence make me worthy of it. There was no religion in my life after early childhood, and a great faith in love was what I had cultivated instead.’ WFH, it’s always a great excitement to get a parcel of physical books from the printers. These arrived yesterday. With thanks to production and the printers- it looks beautiful. I highly recommend this wonderful debut. It featured in the article on the best debuts of the year, in last Sunday’s Observer There is a quote on the back cover by Niamh Campbell ‘A fearless, original, and beautifully written study of love and shame’ Acts of Desperation by Megan Nolan published by Jonathan Cape #megannolan #actsofdesperation #jonathancape #vintage #penguinrandomhouse #apple #debutfiction #newfiction #bookcovers #literary

Nipper died and is buried in Kingston under what was Lloyds Bank car park - now Nipper Lane. I have always wished that we had a giant Nipper in the middle of the high street. #nipper #hmv #recordneedles #nipperthedog #hismastersvoice #nipperlane #kingston

A wonderful walk back to Waterloo- most of the way at the waters edge. It didn’t feel like we were in London, as we stomped across the sand. The Thames was low and freezing mist was hanging over the city. It was magical #londonwalk #mist #monday #designers #freezing

The first of the books I started designing in lockdown/ WFH, are starting to come through. This is Richard Flanagan’s brilliant new novel. Photograph of woman by the very talented Julien Magre. The circles relate to the vanishings in the book ‘There is so much beauty in the world, Francis said, as if astonished by a discovery that had taken an entire life to be revealed. And yet we never see it until it is too late. #richardflanagan #julienmagre #thelivingseaofwakingdreams #chatto #vintage #penguinrandomhouse #wfh #lockdowndesign #newbooks #fire #extinctions #vanshings orange-belliedparrots

Me since 5.30 this morning #worker
It was a year ago today that I broke my arm on the way to work. It wasn’t slippery leaves, despite the rumours but raised uneven concrete was involved. I still give that concrete a look every time I walk past it - it happened a few roads from home. The break was high up on the arm just below the shoulder so I could only have a sling. I can remember how horribly painful it was and that I had to sleep upright in bed for weeks. And how wonderfully kind and helpful all my family, friends and work colleagues were. #broken #ayeartoday #anniversary #concrete #19th #hospital #bigbruise

Bright for a few hours this morning and we managed a blustery cycle ride to Sandwich and back - almost got blown off the bikes the wind was so strong. Great fun - especially in one direction #sandwich #cycle #sun #deal
