Printer’s studio, Venice, c. 1572. Print technician: Er, boss, bad news. We did one of the pictures upside down… Publisher: Bind it anyway and flip it right way for the next copy. Print technician: Yessir.

It was my delight to review Jennifer Roberts’s new book Contact: Art and the Pull of Print for the October issue of @Apollo_magazine. The book has made a lasting impression imPRESSion on how I look at art and the world. www.apollo-magazine.com/contact-jenn...

This week I heard that Tudor Liveliness sold 437 copies in 2023 - nearly half the print run! I'm astonished & delighted. If you want to find out what all the fuss is about you can buy it here & support your local bookshop (t-shirt not included) uk.bookshop.org/p/books/tudo...

Two people standing in a bookshop. One is holding a copy of Tudor Liveliness: Vivid Art in Post-Reformation England. They are both wearing t-shirts with the book cover printed on them.
