Each Day Right on Target

2007-09-11T09:49:00.000-07:00

Shooting and Conservation magazine has just published a great review for Each Day A Small Victory in the September issue.

"Beatrix Potter meets the Kray Brothers – At last someone has had the guts – and there are plenty of guts spread about these pages – to tell it how it is in the countryside; kill or be killed. Death is unsentimental, bloody and inevitable. The day-to-day struggle for survival through the seasons is gripping and hugely entertaining. " Shooting and Conservation Magazine.

Join us this Wednesday 12th September at 6:30 for a book signing at the Pan Bookshop.

Why Publishers Miss Good Books

2007-07-24T01:38:00.000-07:00

Andrew Franklin, managing director of Profile Books and publisher of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, has written an excellent article for The Independent newspaper about why publishers often miss good books.

At Can of Worms, we believe in all of our books, and certainly know that they are good. Our latest offering we believe will be a big hit: Each Day A Small Victory by Chips Hardy.

Nelson, known to his friends as Mandela, has joined our team. He has a degree in geology and mining, he digs the idea of joining our project. He was a teacher of maths at the school in Karu where story story is recorded.

That's not cricket

2006-10-18T07:42:00.000-07:00

Well i wasn't stumped for something to do on sunday. An invitation to play cricket at the Abuja national stadium proved to be a most enjoyable outing. A lengthy stint batting in the middle earned me the man of the match accolade. In truth i think it should have gone to the American recently converted to cricket who bowled magnificently.

Tasteful breakfast buffet display

2006-10-18T07:20:00.000-07:00

This tasteful display carved out of one hundred percent genuine polystyrene greets guests in the spacious Rockview restaurant. The dolphin carries a tin of tuna in its mouth (beak?). Dolphin free presumably.

Millennium stadium relocated

2006-10-18T07:08:00.000-07:00

In a bold reverse scam the british government has succeeded in selling off the great white elephant, the millennium dome, to Abuja.

Fabulous Vanessa

2006-10-17T07:11:00.000-07:00

One of the many joys of coming to Nigeria is Chi Chi's adorable daughter Vanessa. When I last visited she was toothless, now she sports a gorgeous set of gnashers.

Money Money Money

2006-10-17T06:51:00.000-07:00

Changing currency is an interesting experience in Nigeria.

Most money is not exchanged at the banks or hotels, unless you are desperate, but through money men who can be found either under trees or in small rooms in the various shop arcades around town.

The drivers here have generally sussed out the best rates in town.

From Rockview to Rockridge

2006-10-13T11:14:00.000-07:00

What a curious coincidence. My former roommate and dear friend Jim Pire (the Dude) emailed this picture to me today of an event that took place at least 12 years ago in the house we shared in the Berkeley, California hills (Rockridge district).

The man with the tongs is Chris, one of my dearest friends in the world and former business partner and co-founder of the publishing company we founded in America: Compass American Guides (now wholly owned by Random House). Nest to him is his lovely wife Ben.

We ate many lobsters and dungeness crabs in that kitchen and share some great memories.

Breakfast Day 2 Rockview Hotel

2006-10-13T11:08:00.000-07:00

Another large buffet at the Rockview. Beef stew is still on the menu. Actually, I fear it was yesterdays. A variety of other foods are on offer from yams to french toast. The centrepiece however is this rather large crustacean.

It is a gastronomic journey I am enjoying here as well.

It's not all about food

2006-10-12T22:02:00.000-07:00

My first evening and we are off to my favourite eatery in Abuja, the outdoor Fish Bar. Here large freshwater Crocker Fish are barbecued over red hot coals. The fish are heavily spiced with hot chillies and other condiments and served whole with chips. The fish are about two feet long and one digs in with one's fingers and a Gulder beer or two on the side.

The fish has a lovely white fleshy texture and is truly delicious.

Producing the goods

2006-10-12T10:52:00.000-07:00

I have been assigned a producer to help me on the legacy publications project. Henrietta is one of the many success stories to come out of the BBC WST work here. A graduate who responded to a BBC WST talent search, she was taken on as a trainee just over a year ago and now works as a producer on Story Story series 9.

Why am I here in Nigeria?

2006-10-12T10:27:00.000-07:00

I am out in Abuja helping the country director for the BBC World Service Trust Nigeria (Jaldeep Katwala - pictured here) develop some legacy publications to support their immensely successful and popular radio soap opera: Story Story.

This is proving to be not just a fascinating journey for me into an entirely unknown world - West Africa - but an inspiration as well.

The work that the BBC World Service Trust is accomplishing out here in HIV awareness building, and other good works is staggering. Lives are being changed and quality of life improved. It is proving to be a joy working with a wonderful group of people. All under the steady hand of Jaldeep here in Abuja and Karen Merkel back in London HQ.

NASCAR

2006-10-12T10:22:00.000-07:00

Driving around Abuja is not unlike taking part in a NASCAR race, or as I have now dubbed it the Nigerian Automobile Stock Car Association Race.

Regrettably it does all end in tears as the next picture shows, two minutes down the road.

Breakfast at the Rockview Hotel

2006-10-12T10:19:00.000-07:00

My first day in Nigeria starts with an elaborate buffet breakfast. Including this appetising "beef stew". Unfortunately the lack of sleep, need to rush and the effects of the anti-malarial medicine has left me with a decided loss of appetite.

Armed Guard

2006-10-12T10:18:00.000-07:00

Arriving into Abuja at 4:30 in the morning is quite an experience. I am greeted in the morning dark by Ibrahim, my assigned driver, from the BBC and his trusty side kick with side arms. Apparently whilst a machine gun is often weapon of choice a handgun is handier in the confines of a car.

Flight BA 083 to Abuja

2006-10-11T14:20:00.000-07:00

Well ready for take off. Only six hours which means no sleep of any consequence.

However, I do have the whole row to myself and will at least be able to lie down.

Red light congestion

2006-10-11T12:34:00.000-07:00

Am off to Nigeria for my BBC gig and at the present rate the trip to the airport will be longer than the flight to Abuja. Nothing but see tail lights stretching out ahead of me.

Meet the Ponies

2006-10-07T04:38:00.000-07:00

The Sugar Cubes ponies are a bunch of friends who live together at The Sugar Cubes Stables Riding School. There are 12 of them altogether. There's Midnight, the Icelandic horse, who lived out wild all year round so has no idea about manners. Thistle, the Highland pony, who�s self-conscious because she has a big bum and won't go last on hacks or wear horizontal stripes. There's Jacques the Camargue, a breed famous for their hardy feet and never need shoeing. And that's just three of them. Different breeds, different characters, different likes and dislikes, there's lots to find out. Who's friends with who and who annoys who, what they get up to, secrets, tricks and pony talk. Then there's the wobblies and fidgets—the ponies' names for the children who come after school and weekends, especially 'Sat-on-all-day', for their riding lessons.

To check out which pony matches your star sign come to the Can of Worms stand in Hall 8.0 E947 for a free poster.

Sugar Cubes Ponies

2006-10-07T04:14:00.000-07:00

The wonderful Sugar Cubes Ponies created by Hazel Burton have attracted interest at the fair. Here Harcourt author, Rosi McNab, who will be writing a number of the Sugar Cubes chapter books and other titles in this exciting new programme meets, the ponies.

In the pink

2006-10-07T02:19:00.000-07:00

It's saturday at the fair, things are pink at Can of Worms. The end of Friday saw a very positive arrangement with a Chinese publisher who would like to take him into China, and not jsut the first three books but all nine in the series simultaneously.

Saturday has started well with the Japanese showing interest in Boing-Boing. The Graphic shakespeare series continues to attract attention and it remains intersting to see how different people and cultural backgrounds react to the illustration sensibilities and styles.

Today I am hoping to see more people taking up on the Sugar Cubes.

Sourcing books

2006-10-07T02:13:00.000-07:00

Sourcebooks acquisitions editor Lyron Bennett and Ginny stop by and open a can of worms. It is always nice to have an enthusiastic response to the publishing programme.

Stripes

2006-10-06T15:21:00.000-07:00

The stripes on this shirt are not quite as nice as those on an ISBN bar code but they fulfilled my obligation to sport stripes today. Back in the pink tomorrow.

Boing-Boing Goes to China

2006-10-06T15:08:00.000-07:00

Boing-Boing the Bionic Cat looks set to go to China. Can of Worms Kids Press has so far published the first three titles in the scheduled series with another six written. It looks like Can of Worms has opened the kitty on a deal that will see all nine titles published in China in dual Mandarin and English text before the end of 2008.

Beautiful hosts

2006-10-06T05:22:00.000-07:00

Simon and Tamsin organised what hopefully will become an annual dinner at one of Frankfurt's fine restaurants: Garibaldi. We were served a delicious anti pasti to prepare our palettes: parma ham, artichoke hearts, roasted fennel, tomatoes and courgettes, calimari and tonnato limone. For our main course we all shared in a selection of pasta: tagliatelli con truffalo bianco (OK I don't know my Italian but it was pasta with shaved white truffle - delicioso) gnocchi in a tomato sauce and ravioli with spinach and ricotta. Seven bottles of a fine Pinot Grigio and some desertwein and espresso and we were all most pleasantly satiated. Joining us among others in the dinner were: Boris Joh Passacantando who has illustrated the lovely A Secret Promise for Beautiful Books and his partner, Cinzia Da Alberti who is a fine artist and illustrator in her own right.

Synergy for Zymergy

2006-10-05T08:32:00.000-07:00

My friend Martin Ellis dropped by the stand to report a successful sale of his Spanish Civil War book, To Make The People Smile Again, to a German publisher. They were impressed to hear that it is being dramatised by the BBC World Service in the New Year. She read the first chapter and said there is no way we can publish this but I would love to buy a copy for myself to read.

Each Day A Small Victory

2006-10-05T04:53:00.000-07:00

In the pink

2006-10-04T15:51:00.000-07:00

The last post of Wednesday evening has to be my shirt. Best described as loud, anyone visiting Can of Worms on Wednesday was in for a rude awakening. My shirt was most certainly colourful, and seemed to imbibe most with a joie de vive that is all to easy to forget in the Buchmesse. Some complained that it was not appropriate to wear dark glasses in the halls. Thursday I have been asked to wear lime green. Good night.

Frankfurt Friends

2006-10-04T15:42:00.000-07:00

Accommodation in Frankfurt is always a considerable difficulty. This year I am blessed with the fruits of a chance encounter with a Frankfurter last year. As a result of this meeting an entire apartment was offered to us for the duration of the fair. I can only describe the place as an "uberflat" with high ceilings, poured rubber floors and all the amenities of a model interior design magazine feature residence. My thanks to Randall for clinching and organizing the deal. This photo does not do justice to what we have.

Bill Please

2006-10-04T15:32:00.000-07:00

I enjoy meeting and greeting everyone I cross paths with in Frankfurt, but none more than Bill Newlin. Bill is Senior Vice President and Publishing Director of Avalon Publishing Group which includes the Moon Handbooks, though to me he is much more than that. Bill is responsible for getting me into publishing. He introduced me to Magnus Bartlett of Odyssey Publications with whom and along with Chris Burt I set up Compass American Guides, now wholly owned by Random House, NY. But even before that Bill and I Published a magazine together while in college together in the United States. Today he is still an inspiration to me and a close and cherished friend.

2006-10-04T09:09:00.000-07:00

One of the pleasures of the fair is catching up with friends in the business.

THE PAGE BECOMES THE STAGE
We have just received advance copies of the next two plays in our Graphic Shakespeare series: King Lear illustrated by Ian Pollock and Macbeth illustated by Von.

For more information visit Graphic Shakespeare.

King Lear is the bitter chronicle of a man's dark journey from ignorance to understanding.

"Pollock's style, odd, disturbing and surreal, captures all the black absurdity of King Lear's cosmic tragedy."

Macbeth is the gruesome tale of self-destructive ambition and bloodthirsty violence.

"Blood drips, eyeballs stare, and marsh-gas swirls across the page-as-stage. Marvellous."
