Five stars for Salt & Honey -- 'a book to have, to hold and to savour'

Dovegreyreader, one of the UK's most respected and most followed book bloggers, has now finished reading Salt & Honey and has given it a top rating of five stars and a wealth of praise.

She writes: 'I was completely and willingly emotionally captivated by this book.There are moments of excruciating agony and sadness, at times almost overwhelming but also moments of great wisdom, clarity and hope as Candi Miller focuses on the bigger picture.

'Despite the fact I have some cracking good reads on the go at the moment, Salt and Honey flatly refused to be interrupted and so I read it straight off over several sittings. Each time I put it down I was desperate to get back to it.'

The review can be read in full here, along with other excellent book thoughts from Dovegreyreader.

Legend Press named 'publisher of the week' by The Book Depository

Legend Press has been named Publisher of the Week by The Book Depository. The weekly online feature also includes an interview with Legend Press Founder and Managing Director Tom Chalmers.

The choice of Legend Press as Publisher of the Week further highlights the company’s rapid emergence within the publishing market as an innovative and cutting-edge publisher of high-quality trade fiction, in addition to being the youngest-run in the UK sector. Founded only in 2005, Legend Press this year set out its intention to double its list year-on-year until 2009 and is also involved in numerous other initiatives both within and outside of the industry.

The Book Depository was founded in 2004 with the aim of making ‘All books available to all’ through pioneering supply chain initiatives, republishing and digitizing of content. It currently is able to ship 1.3 million unique titles at keen prices from its fulfillment centre, with that number increasing daily.

Tom Chalmers commented: “There is so much going on for Legend Press at the moment and we are very excited to be named as Publisher of the Week. To join some of the other prestigious names on the list signals our growth and rapidly-rising profile as a publisher. As we build a foothold in the industry, we are committed to becoming a major influence and one of the driving forces behind bringing publishing up-to-date and to the cutting-edge of today’s market. We hope this is the first of many weeks and years ahead where we are selected at the top!”
