If you listen to no other podcast this week, listen to this one. Top notch interview. Come for the history lesson, stay for the Boney M. lyrics. And the cherry on top is when @simonmontefiore describes Jason Arday as a mountebank. Ordering my copy of The Cauldron now.

G is for Google, and Gravia, and Gruffalo... and Gyan? Who would have expected a Google search for @Sophie_Gravia's latest bestseller to place this eBay listing among the top results?

You can be assured of the quality, because "We deal into reprinting of the master pieces" and "Many publishers and author approach us for their books to bind".

I have so many questions... about copyright, and about what might actually arrive if you order some of their wares. Should I fork out for a £130 leather-bound Gruffalo just to find out?

‘Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad’ my cartoon for this week’s @guardianbooks
Useful phrases for the murder mystery writer abroad Panel 1: looking at historic buildings saying "Kia bela vilaĝo!" translated as "What a lovely village!" Panel 2: in a pretty garden asking the gardener "Ĉu ĉi tiuj estas venenaj" meaning "Are any of these plants poisonous? Panel 3: in a bar asking the server “Kie oni povas aĉeti pafilon?" meaning " Can one purchase a firearm nearby?" Panel 4: on a beach asking a fisherman "Ĉu la tajdo povus forporti kadavron?" meaning "Could the tide carry a dead body away?" Panel 5: approached by a police officer "Saluton, oficiro." meaning "Hello officer." Panel 6: being marched to the police station protesting "Okazis miskompreno!" meaning "There has been a misunderstanding!" Panel 7: in the interrogation room "La murdo en mia notlibro estas fikcia." meaning "The murder planned in my notebook is fictional." Panel 8: locked in a cell "Mi ŝatus telefoni al la Brita konsulejo." which means "I’d like to telephone the British consulate."
