If you enjoy these threads, you'll enjoy my new book, diving deeper than ever into the newspaper archives to look at why we can't stop complaining that nobody wants to work anymore and why can't stop blaming everything bad on anything new.

📖BOOK UPDATE: 80% funded!

I'm writing a book diving into the newspaper archives to look at repeated arguments (Nobody Wants to Work Anymore!), endless blame (jazz! bicycles!) & more!

Pledge for your copy today!

unbound.com/books/thepress…
It's being published by @unbounders in London (UK) -- they use a crowdfunding model to cover some initial costs, and early backers pledge to receive various rewards (and books!). At 100% (and when it's done!) the book will also be available in the usual places (shops, etc).
The book will cover themes similar to those in the threads I've been tweeting with 500+ clippings & essays offering more context. The space afforded by a coffee table book will leave lots of room for fun.

📖BOOK UPDATE: 65% funded!

I'm writing a book showcasing my best finds from the newspaper archives looking at repeated arguments (Nobody Wants to Work Anymore!), endless blame (jazz! bicycles!) & things I find amusing.

Many of the topics will be similar to the threads I've shared over the past 10 months -- but with 500+ clippings & essays offering more context to each of the themes. I'm currently writing the bicycle chapter which is ultimately about 1890s feminism.

📷BOOK UPDATE: 50% funded!

I'm writing a book for @Unbounders presenting my best finds from the newspaper archives looking at repeated arguments (Nobody Wants to Work Anymore!), endless blame & things I find amusing.

Pledge for your copy today!

unbound.com/books/thepress…
Unbound is a crowdfunding publisher based in London (England) -- they take pledges in advance of publication to cover some initial costs, early backers get various rewards (and books!), and then the book will also be available in all the usual places (shops, etc.).
The book will have a few dozen themed collections, feat. 500+ clippings about our repeated claims about things like 'kids today are too soft' or 'men today are too feminine'. Our blaming of everything bad on anything new -- jazz, bicycles, bobbed hair.
