Bristol Books are proud to have published Bristol Museum & Art Gallery’s first ever guide to their art collection.

Our new book on the building of The Matthew of Bristol will play a major part in an event that brings Bristol history to life at the Tourist Information Centre at E Shed, overlooking St Augustine’s Reach this Saturday (August 19).

Bristol icon The Matthew is celebrating 20 years of sailing this year, and is marking the occasion with the publication of a book, documenting her construction, the re-enactment of John Cabot’s voyage of discovery, and her travels since then.

Weston-super-Mare: My Home Town is a collection of striking black and white photographs by award-winning photographer Alex Wolfe-Warman. Having spent years photographing his favourite places – those many of us walk past and take for granted – Alex reveals a Weston beyond the obvious and pays homage to its beauty.

Two Bristol-based independent publishers have joined forces to offer retailers a source of local West Country books for their shelves.
