Happy Friday everyone! And what’s this, a Friday before Halloween celebrations? I think it's appropriate we gave you wonderful people a heads up about a rather big announcement that begins tomorrow at 17:00GMT.

You may have seen several teases over the last few months about this on our production updates. The time is nearly here now. Something rather spooky comes your way soon...

We're very close to shipping out the last of LOAK after several frustrating delays. Thanks again for your serene patience. Not only that but we will be pre-ordering Best Served Cold in November, which we're very excited about. Find out more on our blog: curiousking.co.uk/october-20…

Happy Friday! Before the week is out, we wanted to share our love for the incredible Ursula K. Le Guin, a true master of her craft, who would have turned 97 on Wednesday. Happy belated birthday!

Her writing has been celebrated by many throughout her time as a writer of sci-fi and fantasy, renowned for exploring complex themes such as gender, society, and human nature, often set within richly imagined worlds.

Her novel The Left Hand of Darkness led her to become the first woman to win Hugo and Nebula Awards. Other major awards include Locus Awards, World Fantasy Award, & the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award. What’s your favourite work of Le Guin's? Let us know in the comments!

Hi everyone! We just wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to those who came to chat to us and look at our prototypes at the Ludlow Bookfair. Fio and his fiancee Georgia really enjoyed chatting to locals and book collectors alike who came to the stall!

Thank you again to Paul and his family and everyone at @LudlowBookbind for inviting us to table at the event. Hopefully this will be the first of many such cases in the future!

Happy Friday! As Last Argument of Kings Standard & Deluxe editions starts to arrive on people's doorsteps (those who haven’t got their copy yet, don’t panic, we’re still waiting on a few more boxes) we promised that we would show off the Last Argument of Kings Lettered Portfolio

Gutted you can’t have your own? Well you're in luck! We're planning another 100 to sell with the same prints, these will be in a cloth and artisanal paper & not designated by Letter either, so we can sell to the public! No definitive date yet on when, but will let you know soon

Meanwhile the designated versions will go with their Lettered counterparts which are currently being finished at the bindery which hopefully won’t be much longer!
