If there has been a more meticulous and beautiful piece of publishing than this Boutiques trilogy from @MainstonePress in recent years, I haven't encountered. Brilliant translations of Mac Orlan's prose poems by @ShaunWhiteside, everything perfect. So happy to be part of it.

Extensive well-researched captions by Andrew Stewart, and a Flâneuse's Guide to Literary Paris by Lauren Elkin. Every detail of these books has been paid such careful attention, they are a triumph. I'm honoured to have contributed essays to all three volumes.

This is technically the third in @MainstonePress 's Boutiques trilogy, though the second, Boutiques de la Foire, is still in production. Boutiques, Boutiques de la Foire, and this one, Boutiques Littéraires. The first two ill. Lucien Boucher, this one by Henri Guillac.

The brutalist gem that is South Norwood Library (1968) - sadly turned down for listing last year, but hopefully 🤞🏽 preserved for the future with local funding…
