Eventispress Announces On Line Launch of Brian Kerr’s New Book
Eventispress are proud to announce the on line launch of Brian Kerr’s sequel to An Unassuming County ~ The Making of the Bedfordshire Countryside called:
A Certain Degree of Magnificence: People in the Bedfordshire Landscape
Available on Amazon worldwide.
It is currently available in paperback form in the UK for £17.99. Follow the link here: Amazon.co.uk
About the book:
‘A Certain Degree of Magnificence’ traces the landscape history of Bedfordshire, highlighting the impact individuals have had on the countryside – whether they worked the land to make a living or simply improved the landscape. The chapters trace Bedfordshire’s history from the most recent ice age to the present, covering the invasions of the Romans and Danes, the arrival of the plague in the Middle Ages, and enclosure in the eighteenth century. The landowners and landscape gardeners feature, such as Capability Brown and Humphry Repton. ‘
‘A Certain Degree of Magnificence’ will be launched in spring 2019, after it will also be possible to order the book from bookshops, where it is not in stock.
(Please note ~ ‘The Look Inside’ feature on Amazon shows odd lines on the Contents Page. We assure the reader that these do not occur in the paperback version. Any issues please contact eventispress@gmail.com The errors are unfortunately due to the file conversion by Amazon from PDF to digital and are beyond our control.)
Author Nigel Lesmoir Gordon sends launches new book
Although not with Eventispress we would like to congratulate Nigel Lesmoir Gordon on the launch of his memoir ‘Behind Open Doors’
This is Nigel’s email to us:
“The launch went swimmingly, Diana. We had a full house, which included Rupert Sheldrake, Anthony Stern, David Cammell, my brother and his wife and Mike Horovitz. Also many other old Cambridge friends and some new ones.
A jolly fine time was had by all and the books flew off the table.”
Thanks for letting us know Nigel and good luck!

Author Margaret Roberts’ Lunchtime Talk at The Forest Centre at Marston Vale
Eventispress author Margaret Roberts is giving a
Lunchtime Talk
on The Original Warden Pear
on 19th March, 2018
between 11:00 am and 12.00 pm
The talk is free but the centre asks for donations if possible.
Here is the Forest of Marston Vale website
Margaret explains:
“Having enjoyed widespread popularity until the late 17th century, the warden pear gradually faded into obscurity. The Original Warden Pear uncovers its story, bringing together evidence from monks, horticulturalists, physicians and bookkeepers. Poets, songwriters and playwrights captured the spirit of the pear from the late 14th century onwards, while 21st century DNA testing has sought to discover whether anything of the old warden pears has survived.”
Giving something back to the local community ~ Charity Begins at Home
Eventispress is pleased to support local charities.
Copies of Diana Jackson’s ‘Healing Paths of Fife’ are being sold in the burgh of Kinghorn at local shops in aid of the Over 60’s Lunch Club.
As a way of saying thank you to our local community, the profits of all copies of ‘The Healing Paths of Fife’ sold on Kinghorn High Street will be in aid of different Kinghorn charities, starting with The Over 60’s Lunch Club for February, March and April 2018.
