Only publisher ever to publish books on the Radiophonic Workshop, Edinburgh at night, Gurney Slade and that Typhoo Tea Doctor Who book.

Never published a book in Arial or using any form of AI.
It says it right there in the books:

No tariff duties are ever due for books, even post Trump tariffs - but the Royal Mail is now charging 50p per parcel to ship to the States. And they wonder why their business is dying a death?

No thanks. I'll go elsewhere.

Well, Goldsboro Books seems pretty sure that these new US tariffs will not impact books, except by causing the current delays.

Fingers crossed!

You've spelled 'aping Reform' very oddly there.

This is you, isn't it?

So, Obverse will be at Whooverville at the end of the month - our first ever proper convention, our first ever panel and my first ever Obverse stall.

Do pop by and say hello if you can! I'll be the one swearing in Scottish & sweating in terror at having to speak in public.

New Cushing for Christmas!

It's freezing outside in Scotland just now - even more than usual, no time for rough sleeping. All profits from this book will go to help the homeless in Edinburgh and Dundee.
