UPDATE (11th October 2026): now with 'A sense of permanence?' book added.
I've (somehow!) never actually been to the British Cartoon Archive (more detail on its history here ) or (until very recently anyway) never owned any of its publications.
The EH Shephard catalogue was recently gifted to me by friend of the blog Eamonn Clarke (check out the essential listening podcast that is Mega City Book Club here) and it inspired to start looking into what other publications they've produced over the years.
This is surely a very incomplete list but you've got to start somewhere! Any further example would be very welcome.
