Lovely Scribblers, if we can sell 60 books more this month than our average, we will break even this year! And we really (really) want to break even. So if you or your friends like thought-provoking, quirky and sustainable books, give this a retweet! 🤌 flyonthewallpress.co.uk P.s. orders from us direct give us the most return, but your local high Street bookshop or ebook provider or library are ALL excellent 😀

Here's a longread I wrote for the @LRB on the waxing & waning fortunes of an Ayrshire seaside town (my hometown, Prestwick) & how the restoration of its 1930s cinema designed by Ramsay MacDonald's son might help restore the glamour. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/… lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

@jmullinjourno @clesliephoto @Dialectographer Thanks John. It really has been fascinating. There's a consultation in Cumbernauld library about plans for the new town centre if you're passing. I think it's there for another week or so.

@AlisonMIrvine @clesliephoto @Dialectographer It’s an incredibly fascinating subject, Wish you all the very best of it. We moved there in 1966. Very optimistic times and the New Town was very much part of it. Great place to grow up and feel very sad to see it maligned.

@AlisonMIrvine Hi Alison - Have just seen you’ve been shortlisted for a prize for an essay about Cumbernauld. Congratulations! I was brought up there and feel very defensive about the place. I would love to read your essay. Any chance you could tell me where I could see it somewhere, please?

I had the pleasure of speaking with @PaulJSweeney about saving the Glasgow Subway legacy fleet for @TheGlasgowWrap. “It’s heritage that is so mundane and day to day that only when it’s been taken away, you start to appreciate its value, right?” bit.ly/4cl4h9y
