@markstretcher.bsky.social asked on the Bluesky bridge about where to buy the Brian McFie art book. It is available from his website:

https://brianmcfie.org/product/brian-mcfie-the-book
Brian McFie (Pre-Sale) - Brian McFie

Rinn iad e, chluichd iad chun an diog mu dheireadh agus thèid iad gu cuach na cruinne an ath bhliadhna. Tha cothrom aig an Dànmharg fhathast tro na play-offs.
