What We Talk About When We Talk About Crime

by Jennifer Fleetwood

‘Genial and readable . . . I can’t help hoping that it isn’t too long before we get another book by Fleetwood.’ Bookmunch

‘Fleetwood is alive to the complexities and nuances of the seven stories she has selected, while maintaining a lightness of touch and engaging prose style. She asks us to consider issues such as which stories can be told and heard – and how they could always be different.’ Crime, Media, Culture

Lewis Carroll’s Guide For Insomniacs

by Lewis Carroll

‘A medley of games, riddles, rhymes and number problems, Lewis Carroll’s Guide for Insomniacs is the perfect companion for the wee hours when sleep won’t come.’
Wall Street Journal

‘A charmingly odd little book.’
Slate

Blind Corners: Essays on Photography

by Michael Collins

‘Collins concentrates on some of his favourite pictures, but the essays in Blind Corners are not simple appreciations. The book is part meditation, part polemic . . . In large part, he succeeds in reinvesting photography with some of its original magic . . . Blind Corners is a quiet, somewhat eccentric success.’ Literary Review
