4/16/2014 The Arcane Publishing online shop is up!Well... Kind of...
WELCOME TO THE ARCANE PUBLISHING ONLINE SHOP! So today I decided to try and get started on the Arcane Publishing online shop. I have chosen The Big Cartel as it seems to be the easiest to use. I am starting with their free option, so I cannot put in more than five products. At the moment, I am only selling I Am a Muse, but when I feel a bit more comfortable with that online selling thing, I might upgrade and then start selling some of my second-hand and vintage/rare books. Watch this space! It's a bit rough and ready, I admit, and the design is a bit dodgy at the moment, but it seems to be working, and therefore, people can now buy I Am a Muse (it is using a Paypal payment account, and I still need to see how all this works.) I am still quite nervous around technology and selling online is quite a big step for me. Let's see how things go... 4/12/2014 Devon blogsThe 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! 2/18/2014 First fair of 2014 in Southend-on-SeaOur first fair of 2014 is a bit less than two weeks away now! It will be the Southend Vintage and Retro Fair organised by Haddon Events, and will be taking place at The Chase Sports and Fitness Centre in Prittlewell Chase.
Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing will be sharing a double stall, and we will have a few copies of I Am a Muse for sale at the event. For this fair, we will be concentrating on classic cinema and icons, as well as fashion. For our next event in Bexleyheath in London on March 9th, we will bring some rarer books on a wider range of subjects - but always concentrating mainly on music, entertainment, theatre and cinema. We will post a specific blog about this event next week, but I can already tell you that Arcane Publishing will have its own stall, and therefore will be able to spread out the books a little and be more creative with the display. It will be a trial run for some more Arcane Publishing stalls in the future! Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing hope to start trading at Old Spitalfields Market soon - we need to sort out the logistics first! Arcane Publishing's ambition is to launch a small pop-up bookshop one day (probably next year!)... Watch this space! A sneak peek at our stock for next week: We had an intense working weekend setting up and trading at the Alexandra Palace Antiques, Collectors, Art Deco and 20th Century fair...
Go to MISS CARYA GISH'S BLOG for more pictures! 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: 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. The first paperback edition of Tony Crawley's 1974 book, The Films of Sophia Loren, with hundreds of photos, some rare! 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." We will also be selling some French import CDs, pop and classical music, 60s and 70s (a few singles and some LPs). And last but not least, we will have some copies of I Am a Muse and will be giving out flyers/bookmarks! This Sunday, Arcane Publishing will be attending a 40s event near Colchester (see our EVENTS PAGE and OUR PREVIOUS BLOG... We will be selling a great selection of second-hand books, some of them pretty special! Here they are: We will have a different selection for Alexandra Palace, more cinema and entertainment... I will post a few photos next week!
