Thanks, I'll check it out.

Thanks. I won't use Amazon under any circumstances but your advice to produce a physical version is sound, especially as the answer to my original question seems to be a resounding No. And I have a good friend who is an excellent graphic designer who has helped me before :)

More of this, less of bombing other countries

I know what you mean - the lists each year still have £££ reissues on pink splatter vinyl or some such, when you could probably get the original from a record fair for a third of the price.

It should be ‘Shop’ in Britain, not Store. But, apart from that, I’ve just queued outside Back to Mono in Lincoln, and ppl were friendly/happy/excited to be getting records not otherwise available. I got the Bill Evans Trio playing live at the BBC in 1965, and an utterly gorgeous Iris DeMent album.

NEMS Records, Liverpool, 1962-ish

Happy Record 'Store' Day.

I’m rather enjoying all this!

Gone man, solid gone!

Thank you. That is exactly the kind of nonsense I'd like to avoid if I can. The book is new and unpublished however so maybe the Internet Archive isn't the place for it. Maybe there's no place for it here in the increasingly corrupted and dying internet?

Everyone/anyone! If I wanted to 'publish' a book online, completely free to read, and either in its entirety or a chapter or two at a time, is there a nice, sound (preferably independent), free to use, platform where I could do this (apart from the obvious ones)? Any suggestions/opinions welcome 🙏

Galileo sighted Neptune more than two centuries before it was discovered. It has rings, first imaged by Voyager 2, that are faint and unstable and hard to show. 62/

My pleasure. It’s a fabulous article, long needed!

Now out, an Open Access article on Essex's 1973 "Design Guide", which fundamentally shaped the design of housing in England: doi.org/10.1080/0266....

Thank you to @rproctor.bsky.social @osaumarezsmith.bsky.social & others for encouragement & comments, and @britishacademy.bsky.social for funding

A great article on the impact of the Essex Design Guide. Here's its influence on Peterborough's new town housing at Werrington, discussed in my book The Radburn Idea 2: A Peterborough Effect (theradburnidea.bigcartel.com).

A sci-fi dystopian one! I must admit, I do keep getting chlorophyll and chloroform mixed up when I see that sign ...

Genesis: I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)

If you'd been reliant on Radio One and Radio Luxembourg for your music in 1974, this single would have sounded like something from another planet to you too.

I always look slightly aghast at this sign when I pass it. On the A15, that is 😁
