Thursday 26th Feb.7.00pm at Rye Books

For more than a decade, Peckham writer Guy Atkins has collected postcard messages sent by the Edwardians. In 'Come Home at Once' - one of The Bookseller's magazines favourite books of 2014 - he shares the very best from his collection.

From the tantalising, to the hilarious, to the downright shocking, Guy's extraordinary cards shine a light on what was truly a postal phenomenon.

In his talk this Thursday at Rye Books, Guy will explain what made the Edwardian postcard such a sensation, how the Post Office came to be delivering a billion cards a year, and what it really meant to tilt your stamp...

Free event.

Coffee, tea, and cake and some delicious mulled cider will be available!

best wishes,

from all at Rye Books

- Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

  No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth. We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday.

  This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!

  I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
