look how /gorgeous/ Ruth Nichols-Pike's linocut work is that we commissioned to advertise this year's book collecting prize. Printed small and large, it is a thing of beauty.

the final proofs are in, the cover artwork signed off & we now have an official publication date - so it feels time to finally start celebrating publicly the forthcoming, incredibly long-overdue Edinburgh History of the Book in Scotland, v. 1: from the earliest times to 1707 published by EUP in 2026

Sikhs flock to see rare outing of ancient holy book in Edinburgh The Guru Granth Sahib is so fragile it was taken to Edinburgh Gurdwara in a special convoy by curators for just a few hours.

even when things are getting really tough at work, it's stories like this, a culmination of over two years of relationship building and planning, that keep me going. So proud of my team for helping the Sikh community celebrate a shared heritage:
