Welcome to our summer newsletter The season of long sunny days, picnics in the park and al fresco literary festivals is finally here and we couldn’t be more excited to be working on so many interesting projects. We attended the Museums & Heritage Show in London in May, where we learned about all the latest developments in this fascinating sector. At the BookMachine event in Cambridge, we heard how Henry VIII influenced what content is like today and what it will be like in future.
Summer quote “The days were longer then (for time, like money, is measured by our needs), when summer afternoons were spacious, and the clock ticked slowly in the winter evenings.” ‐ George Eliot, Middlemarch
