Friend of Hobblebush,

Several Hobblebush books deal with the concept of "Place," but we are really excited about the way our latest book talks about it. Read on to learn about Seeking Parmenter—and a unique participatory book launch.

Seeking Parmenter: A Memoir of Place

An older man, fit enough to tramp over the family farm he knew as a boy, returns to probe what remains of the place where he worked and played, and to study the changes that are occurring on the land since it began its return to wildness sixty years ago. Artifacts and memories merge in this reflective, lyrical history of a landscape in south-central New Hampshire.

The author leads a literary field trip through the diverse habitats
emerging on the centuries-old farm—sprinkling insights from American
prose and poetry—and leads the reader to the conclusion that there is much to gain from an appreciation of wildness.

Books: Good Design, Bad Design.
What's the Difference?

by Sid Hall

There are many beautiful books being published today, by publishers big and small. And there are many that are embarrassing to look at if you know much about books.

If you are are a reader, you don’t usually need to know what it is that separates the wheat from the chaff. A well-designed book does not normally call attention to itself. It just makes you excited about the subject and makes the reading experience pleasurable. A badly designed book may look good to many people, but it is constantly throwing obstacles in your path and dragging you down. . . .
