Notting Hill Editions, founded in 2011, produces some wonderful hardback editions of eminently collectable books including signed copies, subscriptions and boxed sets, by a wide selection of authors. During this month they are offering 30% off all paperbacks using the code PAPERBACK – the offer ends February 1st. Certainly worth a run through their current catalogue. Have a look at NOTTING HILL EDITIONS.

Very saddened to learn of the passing of the Queen & the end of the second Elizabethan age. My condolences to all her family.

Sad to see, last week, of the death of children’s author and illustrator Shirley Hughes, who passed away at age 94 after a short illness. She wrote more than 50 books and sold over 11 million copies. She was best known for her Alfie series of stories featuring Alfie and his sister Annie Rose, and also for her picture book Dogger. Dogger, published in 1977, is about a boy who loses his stuffed dog – it won her the Kate Greenaway Medal. Tributes have flooded in from leading writers including Michael Morpurgo, Philip Pullman and Michael Rosen.
