“Things may come and things may go but the art school dance goes on forever” is the title of a song by Beat poet Pete Brown which gave John Froy the title of his second autobiographical memoir. The Art School Dance focuses on his years at the University of Reading and Falmouth School of Art in the 1970s and is related with verve, honesty, humour and an attention to detail that makes it a riveting read.
We will be there (with all of our books, of course) as part of the the Forbury Family Fringe Day, part of the

”….Terry Cree quickly drew me in with his delightful use of words and immaculate pencil sketches. Cree’s use of language and images feed off each other to make an unusual book.”

A review of Robert Gillmor’s newest book, 
The many layers of stone and sediment found beneath the surface of the rock reflect the drama of the landscape itself. Covered in decades of industrial soot and grime, the colours released by the carver’s tools will likely never return to shades of black and grey, but become a small reminder of the changes that our natural environment undergoes, and the marks, small and large, of humankind.
