Among my favourite novels, and the best fiction exploring the realities of film making. The UK edition has a lovely dustwrapper.

The copy I had growing up had lost its dustwrapper.
Spotted in a charity shop. Such an attractive cover.

Writer: S. Vere Benson (1969)
The cover of the Observers Book of Birds - illustration of two birds (one a robin) in soft, warm colours

Many things are terrible right now, but a P. G. Wodehouse hardback in its original dustwrapper is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Best kind of pre-holiday deadline: finish this physically large novel so that it doesn’t have to take space in the luggage.

Ohhh I found the book! Have been hunting for an affordable copy for decades:)

Lovecraft praised this novel that was published in 1927. It is thought that it influenced Lovecraft’s ‘The Shadow over Innsmouth’, which he wrote in 1931.

The space between two things; see extended alt text.
In 2024 these two little guide books with their map dustwrapper were intended* as my contribution to David Bellingham's One Day Museum** at Kennaway House in the coastal town of Sidmouth, which is situated almost equally between the rivers Exe and Axe, at the mouth of the river Sid. I was reminded of them by DB's recent pair of postcards (Oo Press, 2026) with the text: "the space between two things is a third thing". ............ * "Hi David, terrible timing… after four years we’ve managed to get Covid. Both Judith and me pretty well bed bound since Tuesday, in a quite pathetic state, and can’t imagine we’ll be surfacing until after the weekend. I had two copies of a small local guide: ‘Twixt Axe and Exe’ to offer to the project, and hoped to have brought them down to Sidmouth, but no matter, it all looks great in the Instagram films. Good luck…! and sending very best wishes, Colin" —message to DB, 12 April 2024 ** "One Day Museum, A pop-up event. 14 April 2024, Kennaway House, Sidmouth Curated by David Bellingham in which found objects were reimagined through an inventive approach to materials and playful conversation.
