Biographer, quilter, gardener, granny! My biography of the Macmillan Brothers, Literature for the People, is out now
Paperback publication day! #Booksky #victorianstudies

Happy paperback publication day to me! I'm delighted to be spending it in Cambridge, where so much began for the Macmillan Brothers, and to be talking about it tonight at the very shop, 1 Trinity Street! Maybe I will see you there? Have you ordered your copy yet?

I'm setting off for Cambridge this week, going to spend a couple of days in some archives for my new project, then off to the University Press bookshop on Thursday evening to talk about Literature for the People! A few seats left? Where are you, Cambridge #booksky People?

'Their rags-to-riches ascent (within just two generations, they’d be able to claim a prime minister as one of their own) is brought to life with appropriate narrative flair and an appreciation for their shared curiosity as well as their galvanising moral purpose.' The Observer

Picked this off my book shelf for a re-read. I'd forgotten how good it is!

Don't you need to feature a biography of the most successful publishers to come from the West Coast of Scotland?

What a Black Friday Week bargain! Would make a perfect Christmas present for your history-loving mother, your friend in the publishing industry, that relative who likes to boast about his Scottish Ancestry...anyone who loves Victorian London!
