VOL.01
His novel is at the top of the Amazon bestsellers list, nearly 90 years later after it was written. He’s widely considered one of America’s greatest novelists and his work has inspired writers ever since he was published. So then why is F. Scott Fitzgerald, who is more famously associated with places such as Paris, [...]
This short film imagines life in the future without independent shops and tells the story of a young schoolboy who stumbles upon the last remaining bookshop. Directors Richard Dadd and Dan Fryer are the duo behind the creative studio, The Bakery: We love bookshops. But we saw that many are going through tough times. We wanted to [...]

Written between 1935 and 1958, some are worse than others with blatantly discriminatory titles and by-lines such as, “The Evil Friendship” or, ”The immoral story of a love-starved temptress and her insatiable desires!” The cover images are extremely provocative and alluring and yet the lesbian heroines are portrayed as deviant or confused.
