This is a *fantastic* book: architecture, science and music all combined into one fascinating history, and by a lovely, lovely author
Fantastic to see 'Pistols in St Paul's' listed as an Amazon UK best seller and flying up the rankings following Fiona Smyth's appearance on @bbcradio4.bsky.social's Start the Week on Monday.

'Pistols in St Paul's' would make a gorgeous gift for any lover of history, science, music or architecture.

We had builders in for sensible things and this is what happened. Cat stairs. The skirting board inside is on wonky but the builder is coming back ‘to sort out snags on the cat flap steps’. Yeah ok George, he’s picky about his mortaring #cats

The most beautiful books I have ever had the privilege to work on. A feast for the eyes, a workout for the arms (massive tomes of towering quality), and ever so entertaining. Want to know how THAT album cover was designed? I can guarantee surprises
