Each Day Right on Target

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

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.
