Judging by our bestselling books from the past week, our guess is that the mania for adult colouring books shows no signs of receding. No less than FOUR colouring books have made it into our top ten list, with French illustrator and graphic designer Emma Farrarons leading the way. Farrarons’ book, The Mindfulness Colouring Book, is an excellent pocket-sized introduction to the craze for novices. You can find some of her other gorgeous illustrations here.

Other bestsellers for the past week include two memoirs that our Managing Director Mark Rubbo has personally recommended (On the Move and Between You and Me), as well as the new Quarterly Essay (Blood Year - Terror and the Islamic State).
