This bright dot is Jupiter, as seen through the lens of our eldest son’s Science-o-tron Astronomatic telescope early yesterday morning. Photographed with an iPhone, which wasn’t in Galileo’s kitbag as far as I remember, the 4G signal being pretty dire in Pisa back in the early 17th century. #astronomy #jupiter #galileo

A run-of-the-mill late-1960s Pelican, but the chopped-up/screwed up lettering at the top of the back cover is quite fun. The blue, white and black work so efficiently together. And efficiency is sufficiency, isn’t it. And rhyming is timing. Oh and two new prints will be available tomorrow.

So if this was the sequel to ‘Good English’ and 'Better English’, where the hell did the author go after this one? #panbooks #paperback #vintage #books #language #teaching

I thought I’d lost this. Now it’s Tintin Timetime again. Number One Son will be inheriting it as soon as it has a new battery. I’d be tempted to wear it myself, but my current Ticka-Ticka-Timex-Tra-La-La is as uncluttered as any watch could be, and brevity is the soul of longevity, isn’t it. #Tintin #watch #herge #design #timex #simplicity

My back cover art for The Anchoress’ debut album ‘Confessions Of A Romance Novelist’ in situ. I thoroughly recommend buying a physical copy of this wonderful album - booklovers especially are in for a treat where the inner packaging (and, let’s face it, everything else) is concerned. Total attention to detail. Well done all round, @catherineannedavies ! #theanchoress #album #newmusic #penguinbooks #reading #literature

Sent two-and-a-half prints off to the printer for proofing today. Here’s one under the microscope. I love grey like the arch-minimalist I am, or *think* I am. #printmaking #art #penguinbooks #literature #reading
