Beyond excited that the world’s best bookstore, No Alibis is offering a special edition signed copy of #FewAndFarBetween with fancy endpapers, an extra essay and a bespoke print of the Lough Neagh archipelago. Pre-order the hell out of these beauties, when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Found a few of these in a drawer over Christmas. Very much a rarity.

Still plenty of physical posters for gigs here. Which, according to @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social is a good sign.

My building looks onto the first house Leonora Carrington lived at (with husband, the poet Renato Leduc), in Mexico City. It was also the first Soviet embassy. Now it appears to be an events venue.
