Issue 4 Vol 4: Food Tonia Buxton and Antony Capella give us exclusive interviews in an edition to make the taste buds salivate as we delve into Greek food, culture, puddings and coffee. Yes, the Food issue has now been served up at our website and the new edition of Incorporating Writing...

She bloody well deserves it though but it was a great response.

It varies here, as we all use different things, one of us swears by cheap napkins (apparently they don't damage books), I use a leather bookmark that I've had from childhood, it used to have a cartoon character painted on it but it faded long ago as has the memory of the cartoon, it ranges here...
