Morning! Its a sunny Sally Rooney publication day for Beautiful World, Where Are You Our limited edition signed copies may have been snapped up quickly, but do pop down soon for your first edition. Beyond the hype, its a lovely story of friendship, growing up, growing apart and connections that bind us to other people, and may be her best book to date. https://instagr.am/p/CThD23LMFax/

Considered “too intimate” to be released in De Beauvoir’s lifetime, this short, absorbing novel tells the story of an intense and ultimately tragic relationship between two young women. ⁠ The manuscript was inspired by a real-life friendship and written in 1954, five years after the feminist classic The Second Sex. It was found in an archive by the author’s adopted daughter, Sylvie Le Bon-de Beauvoir. ⁠ The Inseparables is a moving coming-of-age tale about two girls in 20th-century Paris battling with who and what they want to be. https://instagr.am/p/CTeC9fqNspZ/

We 💕 when our lunch vibes off new magazines, especially when they pop as much as the new @pitmagazineuk and a #shwarma special from @eatmormor. The #kebab issue, their tenth!, takes a typically part-silly, part-serious look at one of the world's most beloved dishes - ingredients on a stick. With excursions through Ghana, Taipei, Turkey and north London; a dash of fiction from @wiles.will and some glorious illustration throughout. One to get some sauce on this evening while reading over dinner... Link in bio for the magazine, head to @kommune_ch, @hatchmcr or @gpoliverpool for your fill of MorMor x https://instagr.am/p/CTSOqaIs3r3/

Make No Small Plans⁠ ⁠ Rough Stuff Cycling in the Alps is the original guide to adventuring by bike in the Alps, reprinted with stunning vintage photography.⁠ ⁠ Compiled by Fred Wright from years adventuring on the gravel roads, dirt tracks and footpaths of the #Alps, and the accounts of other pioneers of 'rough stuff' riding. #Gravelbiking before #gravelbikes – even #mountain #biking before #mountainbikes in some cases.⁠ ⁠ Originally published in a very limited edition in 2002 and now impossible to find, this reprint comes with a new design and layout, beautiful finishing, maps and two extended colour photo sections of Fred's pictures.⁠ ⁠ More than 300 routes ranging from easy tracks at barely 1,000m to steep footpaths and #glacier crossings at over 3,000m. An invaluable practical guide and #inspiration for gravel adventures, from the Swiss and French Alps to the Italian #Dolomites and Austrian #Tirol.⁠ ⁠ Previously featured on our Tour of France @bookshop_org_uk list, we now have copies in the shop and online. Pick up a copy today?⁠ ⁠ @rsfarchive @isolapress https://instagr.am/p/CTKnfLHMYBq/

New series: @penguinukbooks spotlights #GreenIdeas that have changed the way we think and talk about the living Earth. Superbly designed by @_tometherington drawing on naturally occurring imagery, the rainbow hues will challenge you not to complete the set. The range of titles includes work from Michael Pollan - who offers a culture shock taking aim at Western industrial diet - Wendell Berry, Naomi Klein - evidencing the war deregulated capitalism is waging on the climate - and Greta Thunberg. https://instagr.am/p/CTE3KHHs2qP/
