It didn’t take long for news of the forthcoming publication by Little Toller Books of Peter Marren’s Emperors, Admirals and Chimney-Sweepers; the Naming of Butterflies and Moths to spread across the land like a flock of migrating Monarchs.

Of course, all those who know the fine work done by Little Toller also know that their print runs tend to be on the smallish side, making the acquisition of new titles a matter of more urgency than it might be with larger publishing houses (just ask anyone who waited a bit too long to decide they wanted to pick up a copy of Tim Dee’s recently published Landfill).

As Marren’s book does not officially publish until May 2019, placing an advance order is advisable to all wishing to secure one. And if you’d like a discount on your advance order as well, you’ll be keen to learn that our friends at Atropos Books are presently offering £5 off the £30 cover price for orders placed for the book with them.
