Edited anonymously by Bulmer Hobson, the 1932 Saorstát Éireann (Irish Free State) Handbook was a thing of beauty, intended as both a publicity campaign for the new state and a celebration of a decade of Independence.

Just got an advance copy of my third book published this year, this one co-written with Alan Tate, on the history of Lemon’s Pure Sweets. It looks stunning with over 200 great images and a story at the heart of Dublin life for decades. Great job by ⁦‪Merrion Press‬⁩ as always.

It's lovely to see the finished mural that quotes from my late brother Dennis' poem 'Skywriting' on a wall of the park in Thurles, the town in which he grew up.
