SUPER 8

STARTS TODAY. Bon chance and congratulations Pauline.

Paravion off the Ground

We’re very excited to announce the launch of our publishing imprint: Paravion Press. We’ve produce handmade editions of short works we love. We think that once you have read them you’ll want to share them with someone else, so we’ve packaged the books in envelopes that are ready to mail onward. Thanks for giving it a look. We’re really hoping Paravion makes it through infancy because we’ve always wanted to publish pretty books ourselves.

Thank you Quinn for the new photos on our masthead!

Pretty nice company to keep.

The French journal L’Internaute posted a gallery of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Somehow we snuck in. (We’re in photos #18 and #19.)

Détours 2010

Pauline has confirmed: the third annual Festival Détours will run 27-29th August 2010. The call for entries is now open; check out festivaldetours.org.

Happy Bloomsday, everyone.

A Double Dose for the Ladies!

Friends and family,
I’ve had the pleasure of posting many links on this site over the years. Thank you all for indulging me, waiting for something truly transcendent to appear.
Wait no longer. The harvest has come.
Sometimes you have to step back, sip your coffee, do a little dance with your new puppy, and savour the moment when you get to direct one’s readers to a page that shall live for millennia and beyond – archived and searchable for as long as the internet exists, and hopefully longer.
Without further hesitation I present to you the best Atlantis Books link ever.
OH YES.

Welcome to the Desert of the Real.

Uh-oh.
