My dad's mildly vexed that his pine carved sheet ghost mounted onto a little walnut base hasn't yet sold. Carved ghosts? In this economy? Anyway I told him I'd promote it again, so this is that... 👻 wellswoodcarving.bigcartel.com

Happy 50th birthday to Rough Trade. This wall in their Ladbroke Grove shop should be a listed monument

Giveaway! I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase. Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose? (UK only)

Christmas book swap arrived! Can’t wait to open and see what Simon’s picked for me. Thanks Simon @biggreenbooks.bsky.social and Sarah @sarahalba.bsky.social for being kind enough to buy mine as part of #BuyAStrangerABook You’re both amazing. Merry Christmas.

A new law has just passed that (and I know it's hard to believe) dictates that you have to share the post i've attached. Now look. I was as surprised as you are that they chose this one, but what can I do? I've reposted it myself, just to be on the safe side.

Decided to make it five signed books, not three, I'm giving away to people who share this. Because my thieving ex-publishers can fuck off. Because I believe this book is good enough to be read and enjoyed for many years. Because it's the only pension I'll have. And because why fucking not.

Hey Bluepals. Today I launched a Crowdfunder with the amazing @gracequantock.bsky.social The aim is to get Grace's book "Living Well with Chronic Illness" into health centres across the UK. Please share / support this. I'd really appreciate this. Ta. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/86e1e73e29...

These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total). If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow. P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"

Daughter’s @biggreenbooks.bsky.social first child book subscription has arrived. Looks fantastic! Thanks Simon and special thanks to @civser.bsky.social for very generous buying strangers books.

This week I'm launching "The Big Green Books 500 Club". It's a pretty simple plan, but with your help, we can start to regularly send £500 of books into schools who need them. It costs just £1 a week. Here's the plan. biggreenbookshop.com/big-green-bo... Please share (and join!) Thanks.

Here's a novel #buyastrangerabook! @civser.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a 3 month Big Green Book Club subscription. The winner is the person who writes the best poem about Big Green Books (look, it wasn't my idea!). Check out the offer and good luck, I think.

@sarahalba.bsky.social @biggreenbooks.bsky.social Thanks so much for lovely new book. Can’t wait to get stuck in. You are both fab!
