Saunton Sands by Matt ArtPix
The Arcane Publishing team are back from Devon, and we have come back with some fresh ideas and some great vintage books! We've also blogged about it... 

So go to MISS CARYA GISH'S BLOG to read about some great collectable books and to MATT ARTPIX'S BLOG for some stunning landscape photography and a very special scrapbook!

New on Miss Gish's website!

From late Spring 2014, Miss Gish - who used to be a music journalist - will bring you some interviews with authors and indie publishers... 
This will first be an experiment over a few months, but it will become a regular feature on her website if it all goes well! 
Read more about it HERE. 

In the meantime, draft 2 of The Book of Thoth is going well, and we are getting ready for our first markets of 2014 where some of our fab second-hand books will be available to purchase - as well as copies of I Am a Muse! 

We are also thinking hard about how to set up an online shop for our published novels and second-hand books! If we decide to have a go, it probably won't be before late 2014/early 2015, as we really would like to stick to our publication date for The Book of Thoth and there is a lot to be done!

The Book of Thoth: a sneak preview of the design! 

Picture
Matt ArtPix has been hard at work on the style sheet for The Book of Thoth. We still have a few things to sort out, but it is looking good... 
More to come soon...

To tweet or not to tweet

Picture
We have been thinking about getting Arcane Publishing a twitter account to give the publishing company a bit more exposure. 
But we're really not sure about it. 
The question is: to tweet or not to tweet?

We are now ready for Shorelines!

Off line!

Picture
Arcane Publishing will be offline for two weeks! 
We are going to Dorset - where our third book, The Right Place, will be set - to find inspiration... When we come back, it will be only a month until Shorelines: Festival of Literature of The Sea. 
This autumn/winter, we will also be doing more promotion for the imprint and study our options for development... 

The first draft of The Book of Thoth is nearing completion, but it is behind schedule again... We are still aiming for an autumn 2014 publishing date though!

Book selection for this weekend's Alexandra Palace fair!

Picture
So this weekend is the big Alexandra Palace Antiques, Collectors, Art Deco and 20th Century fair (now with a vintage market as well!). 
Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing will be setting up on Saturday and will make sure our double stall stands out. Fingers crossed we have enough space for the shelves! Here are some of the books we'll be selling:
Picture
Yves St Laurent by Yves St Laurent
This wonderful book was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Yves Saint Laurent: 28 années de création," held 30 May to 26 October 1986, at the Musée des Arts de la Mode in Paris. 
Illustrated throughout with photographic images of Laurent's clothes, as well as reproductions of his sketches. Preface by Bernard-Henri Levy. Commentaries by Hélène de Turckheim.

Mark Booth's 1983 book Camp is a reference in the genre! 
In the book, camp is defined as "to present oneself as being committed to the marginal with a commitment greater than the marginal merits." 
A really lovely book for anyone interested in the Camp aesthetics and the history of entertainment. 
Picture

The first paperback edition of Tony Crawley's 1974 book, The Films of Sophia Loren, with hundreds of photos, some rare! 
Picture

This 1976 book features some absolutely gorgeous vintage fashion illustrations!

Folies-Bergères souvenir programme (1955)
Featuring:Benny Hill, Tommy Cooper, Claudine Céréda, Vicki and Fredi, Barbara Elevera, Jeremy Hawke, Ganjou Brothers and Juanita, Ilona Adams, Marqueez, Johnny Keoni, Morlidor Trio and the Folies-Bergères girls!

Black Dance by Edward Thorpe (1989)
From Amazon: "This is a study of Black dance from its origins in Africa, in the slave songs and dances of the Caribbean and the American South through the minstrel shows and burlesque theatres of the 1980s and 90s. It includes its development under the impact of jazz and its invasion of Broadway and Hollywood as well as its integration with classical ballet and modern dance."
Picture

We will also be selling some French import CDs, pop and classical music, 60s and 70s (a few singles and some LPs). 
Picture

And last but not least, we will have some copies of I Am a Muse and will be giving out flyers/bookmarks!

The London Book Fair and an update... 

Picture
Arcane Publishing will be visiting The London Book Fair next year. We won't have a stall (at £300 per square metre, this is not something we can afford to do! Even the "New Title Showcase" is out of our reach, at £180 a pop...).
We will just go as visitors and will keep our ears and eyes open. 

We are also thinking about bringing Arcane Publishing to Facebook. Maybe... 

In other news, draft 1 of The Book of Thoth is coming on nicely, if slowly. 
Carya Gish hopes to be starting on draft 2 from October onwards. 

We are preparing our appearance at Shorelines: Literature Festival of the Sea that will take place in November. 

Arcane Publishing is also developing a few non-fiction ideas at the moment, we'll keep you posted on this... 

Finally, we have made some decisions about distribution. For the forthcoming year, Arcane Publishing will carry on distributing the books, but when the time comes to publish The Book of Thoth (next autumn), we will probably try and deal with one of the big distributors in order to bring Arcane Publishing's titles to a wider public. Watch this space! 

Arcane publishing is now off to Devon for a few days...
