Catch up on the Book Fringe + signed books!

This year's Book Fringe was everything we could ever hope for and more! You made it so.

If you came to one event in the garden or more: thank you. If you tuned in from home, joined the conversation via social media or ordered a book: thank you! We were hoping that, after its two year absence, the Book Fringe might offer both a calmer space in the midst of exciting August festivals, and nourish connections between urgent questions surrounding environmentalism, decolonial, feminist and anti-racist thought at a time when we all need encouragement and mutua support. We finished with very full hearts, a bit exhausted, but bursting with inspiration.

So, apart from an apprecition post directed at all our speakers, chairs and attendees, this is also a wee reminder of how you can still enjoy the Book Fringe after the fact. For ease, we've made a wee list with direct links to the event videos below.

We did have some technical difficulties at times, so you will note that the quality during the first few days is a bit wobbly. We're working on this and are hoping to update the files with better audio and video quality in the weeks to come, but in the meantime - we have the livestreams. We hope you you find some new favourites among them.

Speaking of what the Book Fringe left behind, we were also very lucky to have a whole host of wonderful authors signing their books. Signed copies of all the books below are available as long as stock lasts. If you're particualrly after a signed edition, do pop us a note to make sure we haven't run out!
