Clever colour at CPI

This morning I went past my stop on the bus because I was so engrossed in Sir Isaac Newton's "First Book of Opticks". An extract from the great man's study on light and colour was part of a clever promotional book produced by CPI to highlight the capabilities of its new Quantum book...

Upbeat vibe at Book Fair

Yesterday I was at the London Book Fair. Judging by all the noise in book publishing around ebooks and digital platforms I was half-expecting the entire thing to be comprised of a giant iPad and a giant Kindle. How delightful to find it full of books. Real, actual books. Big books, small books, colourful...

Book of Jobs

A curious juxtaposition occurred by chance on the bus home last night. I was reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs in all its casebound, 650-plus page glory. The bloke sitting next to me was reading The Guardian on his iPad. I like to think Jobsy would have been amused by that. There's...

The Drought is now less than two weeks away from official publication date. On September 24 my novel will be available to the masses of book lovers everywhere. I can’t wait! The only thing getting in the way of my excitement is that tumbleweed which seems to be hanging around. Let’s face facts – as a...

Self-publishing: Sell, sell, sell!

Exactly one week ago the first printed copies of my novel, The Drought , were finally delivered to my doorstep. It was a joyous occasion, despite the best efforts from the London looters to halt their arrival (the books should have been delivered two days earlier but the riots caused their delay - sort...

This week has been busy and productive, and things are now starting to pick up some real pace. Two days ago (July 27), I approved my final edited manuscript to be sent to press.

Self-publishing: The social media opportunity

At the start of this year a story appeared on printweek.com about Bristol printer Business Forms Express (BFE), who had made the bold move to drop their own website in favour of a Facebook page. At the time, managing director Colin Roberts, said the company was “moving with the times”. I’m not too sure...

Self-publishing: You do judge a book by its cover!

I read with interest an article last week about the research conducted by HP that claimed digital book printing is greener than offset. The comments that followed the article threw up some interesting debates; such an argument that the research only applied to short-run jobs, and what would the carbon...
