Pickup an old stamp album and flick through it. You’ll find a host of exotic and unfamiliar names: Cyrenaica, Fernando Poo, Fiume, North Ingria, Obock, Stellaland, Tuva, – distant lands, vanished territories, lost countries. Do they still exist? If not, where were they? What happened to them?

From My Old Stamp Album goes in search of the truth about these and many other amazing places. Stuart Laycock and Chris West unearth stories of many kinds. Some take you to long-disappeared empires; others throw light on the modern era’s most pressing wars. You are invited to enjoy them all, in a collection of historical narratives as broad and enticing as that old stamp album that you’ve just discovered in the attic.

Description de la librairie

Babushka Books is the most talked about bookshop on the island (although there are only 3 of us), a general bookstore with a lively atmosphere, where music is played and general debate and procrastination is to be had. Occasional book signings and live reading when we sort that out, competitions, book parties and general jollyness all under one roof. With hot drinks on offer and free wifi, Babushka Books is the place to be.
