In recent months I've seen various people complain about the apparently degrading quality of Google search results, so here's how we have gone from being a renowned independent publisher to one of the internet's least satisfying fetish sites (a quick/not entirely-sfw 🧵): We publish a very funny kids' picture book that you absolutely shouldn't read to your kids called Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach, illustrated by Ricardo Cortés, a cri de cœur for tired parents:

'You're cosy and warm in your bed, my dear / Please go the fuck to sleep.'

🎉 Happy Publication Day! 🎉

I’m going to tell you a story. And hold tight, because this is an emotional one. In 2013, Canongate republished three novels that had fallen out of print: William McIlvanney’s Glasgow-set Laidlaw trilogy, first published between 1977 and 1991.
