7/24/2026 Bridport Vintage Market 26/07/2026 This weekend, it's the fab BRIDPORT VINTAGE MARKET on the St Michael's Estate in Bridport! Matt ArtPix will be there with his usual array of interesting vintage items and he will also have a bit of the Arcane Publishing vintage book stock! Which books will you find? We have selected a small amount of volumes which will ALL be at £2 each only (I need to sell them!) There will be some lovely vintage PENGUIN books...  ... as well as some vintage hardback books, including some of Denis Val Baker's books about Cornwall. Most are first editions and should be worth more than £2, but I need to make some space on my shelves as I have too much stock at the moment... So come and grab yourself a bargain in Bridport!  A lot of things are happening at the Arcane/ArtPix HQ...
We're going to have a busy autumn/winter, and 2027 so far is looking quite something! More soon...  We love going back to London. After 10 years away, we have started to miss it quite a lot, and we really still feel like Londoners each time we are there. Dorset has always felt like some kind of temporary home, whereas London IS home!
This time, we were in the capital on a secret mission which, of course, had something to do with books! The volumes pictured above are the most valuable books we have in our stock. We have decided to try something out: they now are with a reputable London auction house specialising in books and manuscripts, and we hope that they will go under the hammer in early autumn! Fingers crossed, please! We're counting on them to raise some money towards the printing costs of The Right Place! 7/12/2026 Witchcraft in England by Christina Hole I am coming back to my websites and blogs a little earlier than planned - I was getting a little bit impatient, and it will take time for me to get used to posting regularly on here again! I have just posted a "writing and inspiration" post on my author website Miss Gish.com about going back to Abbotsbury and St Catherine chapel for the first time in quite a while. You will find the post HERE. This is a kind of prelude to starting writing again, which will probably be in September (the Arcane Publishing office needs a summer refresh first, and this will be taking place throughout August!). I wouldn't want to confirm a publishing schedule here as I have created and scraped a dozen of them since I started work on my third novel The Right Place, but I think this time, it is going to happen (unless life throws another of obstacle across my path...) And so I am still hoping that Arcane Publishing will publish its third book sometime in 2027, which by the way is a very special year for us... But more on that closer to 2027! Today, we are presenting a new acquisition to our collection/stock of vintage and rare books... And it is a good one! Witchcraft in England by folklorist and writer Christina Hole (1896-1985) and illustrated by artist and writer Mervyn Peake (1911 -1968) and future author of the Gormenghast series. This copy is the second impression of the first 1945 edition published by B.T. Batsford Ltd. It is in excellent condition and still has its full, striking dust jacket!         |
