By a series of fortunate events, I came across this book at the library: "Killed Cartoons: Casualties of the war on free expression". This was written in 2007 and is a nice little time capsule of the environment at that time, which some people seem to misremember as a golden age when comedians could tell any joke without repercussions worse than a few groans and politicians never put any pressure on publications. So, if you want to remember, check out this book:

“Cousins’ Rivalry” by Ted J. Brooks was displayed at the London Book Fair (LBF) at Olympia London from March 11-13, 2025

The book revolves around Greg Sutton and Robert Hawkins, cousins who find themselves at odds. Their central conflict stems from the inheritance of the Portmouth Falls Country Store, which Greg received from their grandfather.

Heard from a favourite author today that Unbound or their new incarnation Boundless *not* be refunding backers of his outstanding unpublished books. I have £48.50 worth of unpublished books still owed from them - books by other authors, but probably the same applies. I guess that's vanished then. Furious doesn't even come close. #Unbound #Books #Bookstodon #Publishing #Boundless #Crowdfunding
