I think pretty much every book cover designer I know shared this over the weekend. Every British one at least…

Tom’s new book, coincidentally called Revenge of the Librarians, is out now.

Tom Gauld’s first picture book for children, The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess, is out this month! According to the publisher blurb, the book is inspired by a bedtime story he made up for his daughters:
“I was trying to make a book inspired by three different sets of books: The books that I remember enjoying as a child, the books that I watched my daughters enjoying, and the books I enjoy now as an adult. I wanted the book to have its own quirky feeling but also to function like a classic bedtime story.”
It looks wonderful.
Tom Gauld celebrates Independent Bookshop Week (which was last week, but isn’t every week independent bookshop week when you think about it?)

This is a tragically accurate portrayal of how it has been going during the pandemic.

Tom Gauld has drawn a new cartoon for the New York Times Books section.
This is probably my favourite panel…
The New York Times interviews cartoonist Tom Gauld:
An inspiration for my drawing is my dad, who was an architect. As a kid, there was always paper around. I’d go and visit him in his office and see him drawing on the drawing board with a ruler and a pen. I think my cartooning is kind of like, I saw him drawing all day and thought, “That looks lovely,” and then I saw him go into a building site and arguing with a builder, and I thought, “That looks awful.” I basically wanted to find a job where I could do the drawing without having to shout at anybody.
Tom’s new book Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, which collects his cartoons for New Scientist magazine is available now.
The previous post about the latest cover of the NYT Magazine reminded me that Tom Gauld‘s cartoons for New Scientist magazine (like the one above, although maybe not actually the one above because it’s new!) are going to be available in book form. Department of Mind-Blowing Theories will be available in April!
