The rainbow effect animation is thanks to our cultural intern Kibriya Mehrban who has been working on this behind the scenes over the past few weeks.
V. Press has had a busy but very very enjoyable start to 2019 with the ongoing #lovethursdays selections and lots of forthcoming titles already available for pre-order in the Bookshop here.
We've some new initiatives to come over the next few months...so watch this space/follow us on twitter to hear more about those when they're revealed.
Meantime, we're delighted to share more reviews, events news and the latest set of Top Notes...

The collection is sensitively written and Keren Banning’s images reflect Alex Reed’s themes."
