(MOUNTAIN BIKE) WORLD CUP FEVER!

So there's a lot happening in Yorkshire this weekend and Bog Books are in the thick of it as usual! The 2010 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup event being held at Dalby Forest from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th April is where it's at this weekend! So to commemortate the event Tim Bulmer has penned a special Dalby Forest illustration (above) which has been reproduced as a limited edition giclee print which will be on sale over the weekend along with a range of other Bulmer illustrated Bog Books work.

With the Moutnain Bike World Cup it being a huge Yorkshire event we thought it would be a great opportunity to celebrate all things Yorkshire by doing a book signing for "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" at Dalby this weekend, so come along and get your signed copy of the book and have a look at the selection of giclee prints we have on offer.

HAPPY YORKSHIRE PUDDING DAY!


With Valentines day coming up, us lot at Bog Books thought we'd spread the love for Yorkshire Pudding Day at Hovingham Market and had a great time!

The day started early with Sarah baking her little heart out to make a trayful of mini Yorkshire Puddings which not only looked amazing but were soooooooo tasty! We offered them to everybody who stopped to talk to us and look at the book and they went down a storm. Sarah filled the mini puds with sliced beef and horseradish and pastrami and mayo...mmm!


It was a successful day all round and we enjoyed ourselves again and raised some more cash for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance through sales of "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" and prints from the book. Have a look here for more about the prints and the Bog Books 'Map of Yorkshire' www.bogbooksltd.co.uk

Tim and Gary made a trip to Borders in York this evening to a book signing by Ian McMillan and Tony Husband. Their new book "Yorkshire Humour" is out now and they were kind enough to sign and doodle in our copies which was nice of them!

While we were there we thought we would have a look at our book "Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe" sitting proudly on display amongst other humorous books about Yorkshire and the like...a very proud moment for us!

We're doing a signing at the York University Student Market tomorrow (Wed 4th November) from 10am - 6pm so come along.

HALLOWEEN BOOK SIGNING AT DRACULA'S PLACE!


On Saturday 31st of October the Bog Books Team decended onto the seaside town of Whitby to do a speacial Halloween Bog Book Signing at the Whitby Visitor Centre.

We thought as there is a page in the 'Yorkshire Pudding 'n' All That Tripe' book dedicated to Whitby featuring an illustration of the vampire legend Count Dracula that it would be ideal to do a Halloween book signing and it went down a Treat! (No Trick!). In Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic novel 'Dracula' a Russian ship called Demeter ran ashore in Whitby during a fierce storm with Dracula on it.

With every copy sold we were entering people into a prize draw to win a large signed Giclee print of the Bog Books 'Map of Yorkshire'. The prize draw winner will be announced on Tuesday 3rd November.

We would like to thank everyone who came and supported us and bought their signed copy of the book, we hope you enjoy it (if you do tell a friend or two!)
