Got my copy of @manderleypress.bsky.social’s repub of Helene Hanff’s 1962 “Underfoot in Show Business”, which I really really recommend if you’re interested in a memoir of someone failing to become a playwright in the 40s and 50s, definitely holds up to a reread now
Exciting news for 2027!
I can't wait to tell you more about our forthcoming Dodie Smith publication - this is a shameless teaser and all I can hint at is that we'll be heading overseas for the book launch..! #booksky

In a world where a book is a flower then I choose fritillaries to represent Woman Alive by Susan Ertz: dystopian, enigmatic, classic, stunning, sci-fi, feminine #booksky
A blast from the past! I’m so excited to bring this one back to life 💕
Me too!!! I’m so glad to find fellow fans of the book.
Coming soon - two new editions of rediscovered classics for younger readers and teens. Set in Wimbledon and Margate. Gentle seasonal adventure alongside gritty 80s realism - I’m so excited about both titles and can’t wait to share updates (do sign up to our newsletter at manderleypress.com) #booksky

Ah thanks Tom - for this magical cover, and for sharing our exciting news about Woman Alive too. We are absolutely delighted with your illustrations and can’t wait to see the cover as an art print too! 🙏📚👀
The book has a red cloth spine. The cover shows a retrofuturist city with airships and cablecars. A single woman appears in a door high in the towers.Far below, male figures spill out of underground tunnels and climb stairs towards her

In love with this new edition of Woman Alive by Susan Ertz - rediscovered and republished by @manderleypress.bsky.social
Written in the 1930s, it's the story of the last woman left in a world of men in an imagined 1985
