11/10/2019 Arcane will be back in early 2020! Life, eh?
There's been a change of plan and we can now announce that Arcane Publishing will be back in early 2020! Miss Gish will get on with the first draft of The Right Place straight away and we will attend markets, fairs and other events as soon as we can... We have loads of ideas, and we hope to be able to announce a lot of exciting things in early spring 2020! 11/1/2019 New in stock...Hello there! Arcane is briefly back online to update this website and let you know that we are working hard raising funds for our future ventures! Unfortunately, this means that Arcane will not attend any markets or be present online very much until Summer 2020... We are planning on publishing Miss Gish's third novel, The Right Place, in late 2021/early 2022 and we will go back to attending and organising events from Summer 2020... We also intend on opening an online second-hand bookshop sometime in late 2020/2021... Watch this space! In the meantime, we are always on the hunt for lovely new stock when we have some free time as is the case this week. As we will not be able to attend markets, Matt ArtPix will bring a few of our lovely items to his own events... Check out Matt's Facebook Page and website for all the dates! This week, we have found: James Dean, American Icon, 1985 - with an introduction by actor Martin Sheen.
 Twiggy, A life in photographs - published for the National portrait gallery exhibition in London - September 2009-March 2010
Screen Lovers, 1988, by Anne Billson, with a foreword by Stewart Granger
The Art of the great Hollywood portrait photographers 1925-1940, 1980, by John Kobal
VOGUE - History of 20th century fashion 1909 to 1986, 1988
 Arcane Publishing has been working hard behind the scenes, and we have some exciting plans for the next few years, but bringing those to fruition is a long and painstaking task! We are working on bringing in some funding, budgeting, plotting our next move... Miss Gish is working on her third novel, The Right Place, and has almost reached the 10,000 words mark! Nevertheless, progress is slow as finding time to write will prove to be a little bit tricky over the next few months... The good news is that we will be regularly driving around the landscape of the novel, especially the small village of Abbotsbury where most of the novel's action is located. Things are going to be a little bit quiet on this website in the next few weeks, but we hope to be able to announce an event taking place in November in Bristol! We will make an announcement as soon as the date has been firmed up... In the meantime, do head to Miss Gish's Blog to read about Dorset, inspiration and... BOOKS of course!  Arcane designer and vintage/antiques trader extraordinaire Matt ArtPix has a lot of events lined-up for the autumn and he is very excited about them! Read all about his constantly evolving stock and keep an eye on where you can go and meet him on his very entertaining and informative blog HERE. And don't forget! Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing have a lovely unit at The Customs House in West Bay, Dorset (East Beach) which is crammed with vintage and retro items, books and more! Here's what our second-hand shelf looks like at the moment:  And of course, there are copies of our two publications, I Am a Muse and The Book of Thoth for sale in the unit! We have a two-book bundle at a very good price!  We've been working hard at Arcane over the past fortnight, and today was our first proper outing in the gorgeous Dorset nature for over two weeks! We headed to one of our favourite places, Swyre Head on Purbeck. The views are stunning! Below, we're looking towards St Aldhem's Head; the manor house on the left is the enviably secluded Encombe House.  Looking towards the west, with Kimmeridge below, and to the left of the picture, very faint, the Isle of Portland, where our HQ is located... Today, we have definitely been reminded of the reasons we left the South East behind!  8/10/2019 By the sea... It is extremely windy here in Dorset, which can only mean one thing: BIG WAVES!
So we got out of Arcane/ArtPix towers to have a look-see... Arcane Publishing and Matt ArtPix had a brilliant time this weekend with two successful events! First up was the Somerton Vintage Market in Somerton, Somerset, on Friday 19th July. We had never been to beautiful Somerton and we are really glad we went! What a delight the city centre is! We had our stall in the Buttercross, a landmark dating from 1673. We took a few pictures of the buildings around us.
On Sunday, we were back to the Giant Shepton Flea Market in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, which is always packed with amazing traders - one of the drawbacks of trading there is that you can't browse the hundreds of fantastic stalls yourself! It is always a brilliant event. Here are a few pictures of the stall!
This Friday, Arcane Publishing will attend the Somerton Vintage Market in lovely Somerset. We'll only have a small corner of Matt ArtPix's stall but we will have some lovely books for you! Here are pictures of our stock for this Friday! It's from 10am to 2pm. See you there!
  Arcane Publishing and Matt ArtPix had a brilliant day yesterday at the always lovely Bridport Vintage Market. The weather was perfect and we met and chatted to interesting people, which is always a bonus! I have posted below a few pictures of our stall. Some of the books will now find their way to our unit at The Customs House in West Bay (on the second floor!). Our Russian posters attracted a lot of attention! Unfortunately, we had forgotten the labels for them - and therefore couldn't give people the full details! These are pretty special posters from the 1930s which had been reprinted in the 1970s. Find the information below (and those labels are now safely stuck to the posters so we do not forget them ever again!).
 It has been a while, but finally, we can confirm that Arcane Publishing will be attending the fab Bridport Vintage Market with Matt ArtPix this Sunday 30th June. We will bring a few bundles of Miss Gish's books, and also a limited amount of stock, mostly some of our latest finds! Her here the books we'll be taking on Sunday:
