Anatomical accuracy meets scientific fantasy in the illustrations for Fish: Recipes from the sea
At we attend to concentrate more on our art, photography, style and architecture titles rather than the food and chidren's ones. But we just adore the illustrations in Fish: Recipes from the Sea and wanted you to see and hear a bit more about them. They were done by Katie Scott, who studied illustration at the University of Brighton, graduating in and now living and active as a freelance illustrator in London.
"For the plan it was important to contain a high level of anatomical accuracy," she tells us. "Aesthetically the fish are based on traditional scientific illustrations. The trickiest to get right was the John Dory. It was by far the hardest. It naturally looks like a cartoon, so it was hard to make it realistic."

At twelve, I began to keep alert for gay male characters[1] in the genre fiction[2] I was reading, after some manual or other (probably by Judith Tarr) gave me the idea that such might appear. At thirteen, I took advantage of the fact that my mother worked down the street at Toledo University, and I spent prolonged afternoons in the shining tower of the library, scouring for books relevant to my interests. There, I discovered Uranian Worlds, by Eric Garber and Lyn Paleo: a bibliography listing speculative works inclusive of “alternate sexualities.” It specified which alternate sexualities, too, and whether this constituted a major theme or just a bring up . I read this manual slowly and closely, and then—reading it again, but this time with a sheet of paper and a pencil on the table before me—wrote down all the likely looking titles with queer male characters. A dozen books? Fifteen? A couple of them were easy to find but the repose cost me years. I kept that paper quarto-folded in my wallet for nearly two decades, referring to it as I trawled used bookstores from Poughkeepsie, New York to Berkley, California; from Atlanta, Georgia, to Ketchikan, Alaska.

This fine novel from about newspaper proprietors and their unexpected influences has a title that hasn’t travelled well. Be it known that the Gay of the title is an invented Scottish clan-type label that probably derives from the medieval ancestry of its Westwater owners, headed by Lord Rhynns. ‘Gay’ is a place-name. Let’s get on with the plot.
Castle Gay is one of my Top Five Favourite John Buchan Novels. * I love it for its sunny, cheerful attitude, the thorough modernity of its characters and its theme, and for the glorious Scottish territory walking and slithering around in ditches. It has some of the foremost disguise episodes in all of Buchan’s fiction, and solves a troubling question of intruder etiquette by the butler offering them a wastepaper basket for their revolvers. It is also a cracking good newspaper novel, because it draws on Buchan’s detailed, first-hand knowledge of the might of British press barons in the early twentieth century.
It is the tardy s in Scotland. Thomas Carlyle Craw is a national newspaper proprietor and a celebrated pundit and columnist. His writing is half-baked, anodyne, pompous and opinionated, and utterly confident in the
