This is Our Still Life

is a Bookwork, this contains drawings by Eden and Andrew Kotting with prose and a DVD portrait of their Pyrennean abode.

It also include an OUTroduction by Iain Sinclair and an essay about the film by John Roseveare.

One of the collaborative projects with Julien Lesage and Andrew Kotting and Go Together Press where the authors and artists are very pleased with the work. Julien finds it refreshing and inspirational to work with artists and finds that the inspiration carries across into our successful commercial portfolio.

Artists and Authors - Railtracks

Never before published, Railtracks is a profound meditation on railways, memory, loss and love written in 2005 by John Berger [English art critic, novelist, painter, and author. His novel G won the Booker Prize in 1972] and Anne Michaels [the Canadian writer & poet of Fugitive Pieces & The Winter Vault]. Railtracks has now been published by Go Together Press with beautiful photographs by Tereza Stelikova whose work is influenced by observations of nature, harmonious patterns and the mystery of colour and light.

This is one of several collaborations that Julien Lesage has undertaken before with artists and authors. He gains insight and inspiration from these projects that feeds back fruitfully into his commercial portfolio.

print versus digital

A lot of people ask me about the future of print in the digital age given, for example, the rapid decline in bookshop's fortunes.
My answer is that it's a bit like the death of radio that was foretold with the advent of television: there are still some things that radio does better. Likewise: print will always exist, but there will be less of it.
Brett-Lesage are moving more and more into digital communications, but often these are tied together with print comms. Just recently I read 2 interesting articles re 'the death of print being greatly exaggerated':
This one is about the use of printed newspapers in the Wall Street occupation happening now ('The Occupied Wall Street Journal')
-and this one is about printed versus digital Annual Reports
