Tom Gauld Talk and Book Signing
Tom Gauld follows up his brilliant release from last years ‘Goliath’ with his new bookYou’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, a collection of cartoons from The Guardian and The New York Times.
Anyone who knows us knows that we love Tom’s work, he’s exhibited in our shop, we made prints with him, and last year he came to give a talk to us about making ‘Goliath’.
So, it is with huge, beaming smiles that we welcome him back to our fold on Thursday 25th April at 7pm, when Tom will give an informal talk about his work, his inspirations, his process and all sorts of important things. He’ll also be available to sign his new book too. So come and join us.
Please note that space is extremely limited so places must be booked in advance.

We’ve known Superclub superstar Matthew Swan for years now, a while back he did an amazing painting in our doorway and he makes some incredible zines. So we are really pleased that he’s put together a list of some of our favourite people for this show, our first in a while.
Exhibition runs from 3rd November until 2nd December - come have a look!
In the summer of 2011 photographer Ross Fraser McLean travelled to India with a plan to travel the length and breadth of the country. He wanted to experience their diverse culture, the cities, the countryside, the desert land. However, a snap decision made on the day he arrived saw him stranded in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, a virtual captive of the Sapera Caste of North India - a mysterious and dwindling community who have been living on the extreme fringes of society since their proud tradition of Snake Charming was outlawed by the Indian Government.
Join us for the launch of a new publication of photographs taken during Ross’s time in India and for a talk by Ross about his experience.
Thursday 19th July 2012, 7pm Places are limited so RSVP to 0131 220 0601 or info@analoguebooks.co.uk
‘Our Garden Birds’ Talk and book signing by Matt Sewell Thursday 14th June at 7pm
We first had the pleasure of meeting Matt in 2005 when he agreed to be the first of many to exhibit in our old shop. In fact he exhibited twice with us, we made tshirts and zines with him and it’s been great to see all the good work he’s been involved in since.
So, it is with pure joy that we welcome him back to our fold to present to you his new book, ‘Our Garden Birds’.
An enthusiasm for birds and nature has always featured heavily in Matt’s work and this book, published by Ebury, presents his beautiful water colour illustrations of 52 of our favourite garden birds. The accompanying descriptions and observations bring the characters of each bird to life and make this less of a serious guide and more of a loving salute to our feathered friends.
Join us on Thursday 14th June at 7pm to hear Matt give an informal talk about his work and be available for a book signing.
Originally from County Durham, then based in Brighton and now Shrewsbury, Matt studied animation but decided to concentrate on his talent for drawing. He has produced hand-drawn murals for Selfridges, Magma, Puma and Wagamama, commissions for the V & A, the Guardian and Observer and has exhibited internationally. He also runs the website Spotting and Jotting for nature lovers of all ages.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Tom Gauld before - first back in 2006 when he and Simone Lia exhibited in our shop and again a couple of years ago when we produced this Gigantic Robot screenprint for him.
So, it is with huge, unbounded joy that we welcome him back to our fold to present his new book Goliath.
Join us on Wednesday 4th April at 7pm when Tom will give an informal talk about his work and be available for book signing.

So we opened our doors 10 Years ago exactly (actually, we were so tired after working all through the night that we forgot to unlock the door and then wondered why our first customer was knocking, doh).
Anyone who knows us knows that the perfect way for us to celebrate is with… CHOCOLATE! We worked with the amazing Edinburgh-based chocolatiers, Coco, who have made us 200 bars of their finest and we’re trying our hardest not to indulge in a chocolate frenzy. We’ve hidden 10 Willy Wonka-style golden tickets within 10 wrappers and anyone finding a golden ticket gets £25 to spend in-store.
We’re also offering all you nice customers 10% off online orders until 10th December (just enter the code ‘10THBDAY’ at the checkout). Or if you’re in town, you can get 10% in person by wishing us “Happy Birthday”.
So, thanks to Coco for the chocolate, the super-talented Eleni Kalorkoti who beautifully illustrated the wrappers and most of all thanks to all of YOU! You’ve kept us going for 10 years! THANK YOU!!!
