Best of Recent Blogs #30
There are some cracking blog posts in this lot, as indicated. Also worth noting is that Caroline’s Miscellany had separated out and categorised her excellent ghost signs for your pleasure and convenience. Have a read of Dustshoveller’s Gazette’s sobering item on history book publishing. It is tough, especially now. At London Historians we do our best to support history authors in our modest way, but we can only do this if you tell us about your book!

Thanks for the list, as ever… some good pickings there. I was particularly interested in A lunchtime wander: Chancery Lane, in Westminster Walking. Firstly I love the idea of contained day trips, not thousands of ks of route marches. Secondly you opened up a new blog that I had not seen before.
