It’s publication week for ‘Women, Walking’ and we’re starting off with a word from the book’s author Kerri Andrews!

For too long, the history of walking and nature writing has focused on a very specific, singular narrative. But walking isn’t always about scaling the highest peak or conquering the wilderness alone. ‘Women, Walking’ features radical and inspiring essays from ten award-winning writers, which challenge the ideas of what walking is and can be.

🥾With essays from ten award-winning writers. Stay tuned across the week for some more content from the book’s contributors!

✨COVER REVEAL! ✨

We’re delighted to reveal this beautiful cover of ‘Unearthed: Rediscovered poetry from ancient times to the middle ages’ by archeologist Nicholas Bateman @nichbateman9296 📜✍️

Spanning 35 centuries from the very earliest times to the advent of the printing press, this beautiful anthology presents 70 poems, ranging from lengthy epics to mere fragments and snippets, that have survived against the odds and live to speak to us today.

Alongside the poems are fascinating stories of how they were rediscovered: written on scraps of papyrus found in rubbish heaps, on sherds of pottery, inscribed on 60-foot statues or 1-inch finger rings, poems on fragments of paper used to wrap mummies or repair Bibles.

✍️Beautifully illustrated and arranged chronologically, ‘Unearthed’ publishes on 1 October!

✍️Pre-order your copy now, via www.batsfordbooks.com or from all good booksellers.

✊✊✊

We are delighted to announce the upcoming publication of 'Typography of Protest: Revolution and rebellion in protest art’, a timely and compelling illustrated history how graphic design has been a means of igniting change.

From posters and banners to printed ephemera, the designers, groups and collectives featured in this book differ in age, race, gender and belief but all are resolute in confronting political and social injustice and inequality through their design and typography. From the bold feminist collages of Barbara Kruger to Emory Douglas’s defining posters for the Black Panther Party during the Civil Rights era and Keith Haring breaking the silence surrounding AIDS, to Guerrilla Girls exposing racial and sexual inequality in the art world, typography has long been a powerful tool for upsetting the status quo.

This thought-provoking book shines a light on the often revolutionary work of artists involved in a diverse range of social and political movements.

Theo Inglis is a graphic designer, writer and lecturer with a focus on typographically-driven design. His writing has been published across Communication Arts, Apollo, the Financial Times, Creative Review, Eye, The Monotype Recorder, Commercial Arts and Grafik. He is the author of 'Mid-Century Modern Graphic Design’, also published by Batsford.

‘Typography of Protest: Revolution and rebellion in protest art’ is out on 1 October and is available to pre-order now from www.batsfordbooks.com (link in bio) and from other booksellers.

There's also still time to claim 25% off on RRP over at @waterstones, if you enter the code SUMMER26 on the website or app when purchasing. Link in bio!
