It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.

Absolutely appalling use of ad space in the @theguardian.com app today. Do not call yourself a news channel if you place advertisements over the content. Utterly ridiculous. This ad is repeated over all the breaking story feed and when you remove it it leaves a grey square that can’t be moved.
