The Book of Bookmarks 

Often, when we need to mark where we’ve got to in a book, we bend back the page or reach for an old receipt, but there’s a particular pleasure in having a robust and elegant bookmark to hand. 

Here are twenty bookmarks, unusually assembled into a small pull-out “book” that simultaneously offers, across its surfaces, an essay on the pleasures of reading: why we do it, what the best books do for us, and how literature might change our lives. 

This book of bookmarks prompts small, artful occasions when, at the start or end of a reading session, we can pause to consider the power of books and their vital place in our lives.

Ever since Effin’ Birds first appeared on social media, fans have been clamouring for a way to deliver these lavishly illustrated profane messages in the real world. Today is the day that their prayers and DMs are answered: Greetings from Effin' Birds is a book of 100 tear-out postcards, featuring new birds and new jokes, plus 100 absolutely true* Bird Facts that will help you spot these fine avian creatures in your everyday life.

the bewildered gander wants to talk about how fucked everything is the fretful scaup wants to know how long this bullshit is going to take the rational sheldrake is losing its fucking mind over here . . . and 97 more!

*All 100 Bird Facts are completely untrue.
