The launch of Les carnets de Stamford Hawksmoor began in Espace Bis, the exhibition space of Bulle! bookshop in Le Mans. There’s an exhibition there of Hawksmoor original artwork, until 27th September. It was officially opened on the 5th with a panel discussion session alongside Fred Simon and Matz, who also have work on display there.

We had a relaxing, touristy day in Paris, after which there were five more bookshops to go for Bryan’s launch tour. The next stage took us down to revisit the lovely city of Toulouse, for signing sessions at Le Comptoir du Rêve, . After that, we travelled back north (and I’m not going into the complications that entailed…) to bookshops in places we’ve never been before: La Dule en Bulle in Reuil-Malmaison, Ça va buller in Strasbourg and L’Octopus in Epinal.

Finally, we returned to Paris for a last signing session at La Planète Dessin in Montparnasse. Phew.
