We will be holding a table at the Handmade and Bound book and print fair: 12am–6pm, 21 Nov 2010. This fair is the exact opposite end of the spectrum from the Christie’s Fair we did in October, and we love both ends of that spectrum. So we are delighted to take part. This will be

You should have recieved news of this from them if you bought tickets by now. We’re not scheduled to be in the Victoria Park appendix to the Apple Cart either; more Chip Shop dates
