Good morning from an empty and *air-conditioned* BL reading room.

Signing off 2024 with this picture of a bookshop I wandered into in Testaccio. The view that greeted me (the one you’re seeing now) was so calming and joyful, it was quite a shock to the system. I hope 2025 will bring you as much tranquility as this bookshop did for me. Happy new year.

Pasta company: How easily do you think we can get people to buy our pasta by putting a very low-res image of Vesuvius on our packaging?

Me: Take my money

A short video I took of the House of Augustus from my recent trip to Rome. Enjoy all its glory.

Superb cover. (Always judge a book by its cover — that’s how the saying goes, right?)

Proper research.
