Obverse Books

www.obversebooks.co.uk www.blackarchive.co.uk Only publisher ever to publish books on the Radiophonic Workshop, Edinburgh at night, Gurney Slade and that Typhoo Tea Doctor Who book. Never published a book in Arial or used any form of AI in one.
The three Midnight Folk novelisations of early New Who Xmas Specials. More than one reviewer was kind enough to call them the best novelisations of the stories, and I agree.
The Sacrificial Pawn, the other side of the tete-beche book (it's TWO books in one, regardless of what fat fingered me posted in the last reply). George and Paul in one volume make for a formidable pairing!
Part of a tete-beche book (one books in one, with each book upside down compared to the other), THE DREADFUL FLAP, this one got mentioned in the The Guardian no less!
The Newbury and Hobbes Annual 2013 - me and @georgemann.bsky.social messing about making an annual based on our memories of the ones we loved as kids, with cut-out figures, board games and stories.
The Targets For... books. Really proud of everyone involved in creating these, even if the reason was incredibly sad. Tommy and Antoni were lovely, lovely people and are still hugely missed.
THE CURSE OF FANFIC - edited by Paul Castle, raising money for charity by crossing over various genre tv shows in new stories.
The original cover to Iris Wildthyme and the Polythene Terror by @paulmagrs.bsky.social - from the days before Cody decided we needed a better template for Iris' New Adventures.
A lovely closing summary from an excellent review of Ollie Wake's Black Archive on THE DALEKS in Celestial Toyroom #557. Available in paperback and ebook at obversebooks.co.uk/product/82-t...
Oddly, in spite of having considerably fewer employees than Sony (we have one - me; Sony have more than one), if you bought an ebook from Obverse when we opened our doors 18 years ago, we guarantee you will still have a copy today (just drop me a line with your order number if you can't find it!)
Blakes 7 Silver Archives can go in all sorts of directions...quite a lot of them a wee bit on the bleak side...
A Silver Archive on Robin of Sherwood, you say? Don't mind if I do...
In paperback for the first time, a new, revised edition of Stewart Sheargold THE BLUE LANDSCAPE AND OTHER STORIES, first published by Manleigh Books as an ebook way back in 2012! obversebooks.co.uk/product/blue...
Available for pre-order now - Black Archive 83: THE WEB PLANET, in which Brigid Cherry considers what has been described as the strangest classic Doctor Who sotry - and certainly the one with the best credit. obversebooks.co.uk/product/83-t...

After a six year gap. we finally have a new Iris Wildthyme New Adventure novel out! NOBODY’S SWEETHEART NOW by Dale Smith is the Who/Goodnight Sweetheart crossover - sort of, not really! - that we're convinced the world has long been waiting for! obversebooks.co.uk/product/the-...
Really lovely letter from Social Bite (annoyingly still on the child porn site but not on here) thanking us for our pre-Xmas donation. And thanks for us all too, to everyone who bought the last Cushing book!

An excellent review of Finn Clark's latest Times Mosaic book, covering the latter Tennant era (plus the 60s and 70s Dalek books!) 'I really can't recommend this book enough' Why not be like this reviewer and check the rest of the series out too! obversebooks.co.uk?s=times+mosa...
With a cover by Cody Schell, using Blair Bidmead's splendid crystal icon!
No tariff duties are ever due for books, even post Trump tariffs - but the Royal Mail is now charging 50p per parcel to ship to the States. And they wonder why their business is dying a death? No thanks. I'll go elsewhere.

Well, Goldsboro Books seems pretty sure that these new US tariffs will not impact books, except by causing the current delays. Fingers crossed!
