🚨ALERT!🚨 It’s WORLD BOOK DAY tomorrow! And we know the best way to celebrate is with books… or should we say free books? 📚 And no, we didn’t forget Random Acts of Kindness Day – we were just making it more fun. To celebrate both, we’ll be leaving 10 books in 10 different locations (benches to be exact) across the city… but you’ll have to solve some riddles to find them. Don’t worry, we’ve made them easy! Plus, we’ll be sharing pictures on our Instagram stories on the day, so you’ll have plenty of clues.

📖TRANSLATING JOHN CROME: THROUGH SIGHT TO INSIGHT📖 This book considers and translates the paintings and etchings of John Crome (1768–1821), founder of the Norwich School of Artists, through and into other 'languages' or media, verbal and pictorial. These are translations in the sense of transformations into new languages designed both to incorporate the perceptual and existential responses of the 'translator' to examples of Crome’s work and to project those works into possible cross-medial futures. The book is as much about 'looking' across media as it is about John Crome. ORDER NOW THROUGH OUR WEBSITE! ✍️Contributions and extracts from: Georg Simmel | John Berger | Richard Mabey | Gerry Barnes | Tom Williamson | Virginia Woolf | Oliver Rackham | Neil MacMaster | Jacques Rancière | Malcolm Andrews | Elizabeth Helsinger | Edmund Bartell | Frances Milton Trollope | Rose Miller | Nick Stone | John Craske | Richard Long | Tacita Dean | Tor Falcon | Anya Gallaccio | Chloe Steele | Katie Spragg | Daniel & Clara | Tim Dee | Esther Morgan | George Szirtes | Anna Reckin | Edward Parnell | Kit Young | Mark Edwards | Lawrence Sail | Jacques Nimki | Simon Carter . #smallpress #indiepress #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #art #paintings #book #criticism #artcriticism #johncrome #newbook

☀️It’s been hot, right? Really hot. Worryingly hot, actually. 📖 In this startling, urgent call to action, Rupert Read helps us to understand the direness of our planet's predicament while showing us a metaphor and a method – a way of thinking – by which we might transform it. From the relatively uncontroversial starting point that we love our own children, we are introduced to a logic of care that iterates far into the future: in caring for our own children, we are committed to caring for the whole of human future; in caring for the whole of human future, we are committed to caring for the future of the natural world. If you want to read this book, you can find it on our website (link in bio). . . . #climatecrisis #climatechange #book #hope #future #nonfiction #nonfictionbook #smallpress #smallpressnonfiction #norwich #uea

🎉We’re so excited to share that A Juvenile Miscellany has won The Literary Encyclopaedia's biennial prize for Scholarly Editions. Edited with an introduction by Hilary Emmett & Thomas Ruys Smith, this anthology of Lydia Maria Child’s writing for children was produced in collaboration with students from the Department of American Studies at UEA! 📖This anthology brings together a career-spanning collection of Child’s writing for children which demonstrates the extraordinary richness and range of her vital work in this field. As she shaped the idea of what children’s literature could be and do, Child trusted her young readers to understand difficult questions of social and racial justice, explorations of natural and national history, sentimental domestic sketches, and much more besides. We’re over the moon that this incredible piece of collaborative work has been recognised in an international prize! Huge congratulations to everyone involved in this wonderful publication.

🎉Make your Mark! OPENING NIGHT. See below for the what, where, and when… 🗓️Friday 15th November ⏰18:00-20:00 📍National Centre for Writing at Dragon Hall @writerscentre 🎟️FREE (booking required) In medieval times, Norwich was an international trading centre with merchants’ marks – precursors of modern logos – stamped onto goods and carved into buildings. These forgotten landmarks, many of which are still visible today, were preserved through the efforts of antiquarian John Kirkpatrick (1687-1728) and Mark your Mark! celebrates him as a pioneer of sustainable heritage. 🎉Join us for the opening night of a display showcasing 3D and risograph printed modern merchants’ marks produced by participants in three workshops held in partnership with the National Centre for Writing, Norfolk Library and Information Service and Norfolk Museums Service, as well as historical information and photographs of the merchants’ marks around Norwich. It has been curated by designer and researcher Darren Leader @studiogram @merchantsmarks.norwich with Dr Sophie Butler and Dr Tom Roebuck from @uniofeastanglia . Visitors can represent their own identities through creating marks at a self-guided makers’ station and take part in pop-up talks with leading humanities researchers, historians and graphic designers. 🔗Link in our bio for (free) tickets! . . . #Norwich #merchantsmarks #medieval #middleages #medievalmodernism #earlymodern #heritage #history #logo #logoinspiration #logodesign #branding #graphicdesign #visualcommunication #smallpress #bookstagram #event #norwichevent #book
