quick snaps as I ran around the Fair just before the doors opened yesterday—Antiphon Editions, Roberts Print, Mossy Press, and Cailleach Books. I will be spending more money than I had planned, which is the way of the small press fair! TODAY 10-4, Pearse Street Library, FREE ENTRY! come on down
a table full of small books including an accordion with prints of jars or pots in blue, an upright print of Roman inscribed stones printed in mimeograph-purple, and an open book with the same stones (Antiphon Editions, UK) a table showing books on a small stand and also lying flat. there is a particularly colorful one on the table. this is Roberts Print (UK) table of small zines and stickers lying flat and three zines standing up. all brightly colored. this is Mossy Press (US and Belfast) at the Cailleach Books (IE) table, tons of zines of various sizes lying flat and a few standing up

Today’s @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social restored bruised faith in the books industry. Passionate people, labours of love.

And I finally got hold of longtime mutual @scyflynn.bsky.social’s book direct from Will at @renardpress.com, and met the man himself!

Book news! Delighted to share the cover of my next book. Out 10/02/26 @renardpress.com
Read about it here: renardpress.com/books/all-th... It’s a short novel, creeping, unsettling and a book of taboo and that’s for sure. 📚💙

Sharing this again! I've since added the @saraband-books.bsky.social book 'Peat and Whisky: The Unbreakable Bond' by Mike Billett to this list, as well as 'The Zebra and Lord Jones' by Anna Vaught (and @renardpress.com )😍

As we're coming up to Christmas 🎄 I thought I'd highlight some indie-published books 📚 that I've loved this year, in case you'd like some recommendations for gifts. 🎁

I'll tag the publisher in each one, and then list some indie bookshops at the end.

Please, please add to this 🧵

Day out in Edinburgh, coming back with a very pleasing pile of books which feel just right for winter nights. Uneasy Elixers is a cracking cocktail book. Lots of classics with smart twists inspired by Edward Gorey. I'm keeping this one but it would make a fantastic present

Although my first book was published in 2002, now is the first time I have had two books in print at the same time, Seven Nights and the Flamingo Hotel and Saltburn.

And I’m very proud of both, @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social @renardpress.com
