News 25 September 2004
Mainstream is delighted to be publishing LONDONER'S LARDER, an historical account of shopping, cooking and eating in London from Chaucer to the present day. Taking as a starting point the great literary figures who lived in London, this book examines the city's food through the centuries. Drawing on contemporary accounts, its coverage ranges from supply and distribution, cooking methods and fashions in food to actual recipes made accessible to a 21st century reader. Annette Hope was born in Barcelona but now divides her time between homes in the South of France and Scotland. The book will be published in Spring 2005. World rights are available. For further information contact Fiona.brownlee@mainstreampublishing.com
Our Frankfurt rights list has now been compiled and will be circulated next week. If you are interested in seeing a copy and don't think you are on the usual mailing list please let us know.

IN THE SEA is published next week with an impressive
PR campaign. Serial began in the Mail on Sunday last weekend
and concludes this weekend. Second serial runs in Scotland on
Sunday this weekend. Catherine arrives in the UK on Monday and
has interviews with two national broadsheets, a weekly mag, a
monthly mag and national radio and TV interviews including BBC1
and BBC Radio 4.
Dave
Mackay, author and subject of THE REAL MACKAY,
has been splashed all over the news this week.
A press launch on Monday resulted in TV coverage on three national stations and several press stories.
Today he is in London for a round of radio interviews. The tragic death of Brian Clough who first lured Mackay south of the border has inevitably generated more interest.

SUNDAY EXPRESS carried a news story last week that was peppered
with plugs for TERROR TRACKER about the Crown
Prosecution Service considering evidence on the Hamza Tapes that
suggests links between him and the 9/11 hijackers and planning
for the attacks.
