Nothing but blue skies

The glorious early summer weather that London is enjoying at the moment provides the perfect excuse for a photo session with the scrumptious new Mirabilis hardback from Print Media Productions. This is the first copy to reach Britain - the rest are even now en route by lorry from the print works in Bosnia and Herzegovina, or possibly resting in a lay-by while the drivers fit in a well-earned cuppa and a sandwich.

I've previously gone on record as saying that the Mirabilis iPad edition looks "better than print", but that was before I saw the quality of colour printing that publisher Ivo Miličević has brought to this project. These books really look amazing - even better than iPad, in fact - and are such a feast for the eye that they almost eclipse the ravishing Dirty White Candy, who took time off from her punishing schedule of blogging, tweeting, script-doctoring and novel-writing to pose for the camera in a Mirabilis t-shirt.

  1. Thanks, Patti - the book really looks special! And Dave should really be wearing the T-shirt - I got it for him as a birthday present.

  3. Sorry if you've gotten this question a million times before, but are the hardcover books only available in the United Kingdom?

  4. And to think it was but a year ago that we were sitting in your garden talking about this Mirabilis moment and how to make it happen.

    Well worth the wait and Roz makes the perfect model for that snazzy looking T-Shirt.

  5. Hamza, the hardcovers are UK and Eire only, but I'm sure Amazon UK will deliver elsewhere in the world.

    Peter, we must do it again this summer!

  6. Apparently the official publication date is first week in May, Simon. I haven't thought about a signing but I suppose Taunton would be the ideal location.
