The Art of Bob Haberfield (1938 – 2021)

The Art of Bob Haberfield

After 40 years of obsessing over the Mayflower covers of Bob Haberfield, Dave and I get to wig out and talk to Ben Haberfield about his Dad’s life, art and the gestating project to celebrate the breadth of his work in the form of two art books.

You can keep up with Ben’s work at bobhaberfield.com and follow him on Instagram.

You can pick up Maureen Cawthorn Bell’s James Cawthorn: The Man And His Art from John Davey’s Jayde Design.

We also mention Jason’s podcast, the Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast and I recently talked pulp and genre fiction with Rob AKA Menion on Confessions of a Wee Tim’rous Bushi.

The Winds of Gath – an Old Pier Bookshop Special

The Winds of Gath – an Old Pier Bookshop Special

Phil returns to Derry & Toms as we visit Morecambe’s (and perhaps the world’s) premier second hand book vendor to select a candidate for the first ever Old Pier Bookshop Special.

We choose, or rather are chosen by, The Winds of Gath by EC Tubb – first in a 33 book series spanning three decades that charts the adventures of Earl Dumarest of Terra.

In honour of old school SF we drink old school beers. Well, I do. Phil drinks fancy wine. But we meet in the middle when the mysterious books of booze box appears for the first time in D&Ts.

What mysteries does the books of booze box hold?
