Not strictly mag-related, but I thought you should know: my first fiction book is now in stores in the USA and Canada, with the UK and Europe to follow from June. And I’m incredibly pleased with it.
The Doorbells of Florence is, I’m told by this week’s reviewer, “a beautiful little hardcover” with stories that are “sweet and mysterious” and a bit like Amelie.
As you might expect, it’s also rather lovingly designed by the talented Andrew Schapiro, featuring Joel Holland’s gorgeous hand lettering.
You can read more about its unique design here, and then get yourself a copy here if you’re in the US, and pre-order here for the UK.
And if that hasn’t already moistened your appetite centres, it even has its own website.
Tell your travel-happy granny and your Italy-loving friends, tell your friends, neighbours and design-junkie roommate. Buy one for your dad for his birthday, or just because. And, of course, get one for yourself. You’ll love it, I promise.
Book tours are also occurring, including in a few unexpected places. Let’s just say that if you’re in Washington DC in a few weeks’ time, you might want to hang around a few decent hardware stores…
Thanks for listening. Your scheduled programming will return shortly…
