*NEPub - North East Publishers group launched*
We're pleased to be one of the founder members of NEPub, a new
coalition of independent trade book publishers in the North East of
England. NEPub aims to be a support network in which members can share
experience and knowledge, build contacts, arrange industry talks and
training sessions, co-attend book fairs, and have a bigger voice in
the industry. It already has ten member publishers, and looks like
being a very valuable and worthwhile enterprise. You can find out more
about NEPub and its members here:

*Free UK P&P on all orders*
We're now offering FREE UK p&p on all orders placed via our website.
