As some of you might know we have a book coming out later this year via Bloomsbury!
It is about the be formally announced, and in the meantime here has been some early readers – resulting in the book making “Editor’s Choice” in The Bookseller (June 2023).
Written by Peter Bellerby, the founder of the company, it tells the story from the foundation of the company in 2008 to the present day.
The chapters take us through the journey of how to build a globe, or ‘earth apples’ as they were first known, and includes fascinating vignettes on history, art history, astronomy and physics, as well as the day-to-day craftsmanship at the workshop itself.
It also features photography of our skilled craftspeople who make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes – as well as hand drawn and hand painted illustrations like those featured on our globes.
The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft is available for pre-order and in stores and online from September 14, 2023
