The third image is a cat without a headband lounging against a large red triangle with a cute face, and the fourth image is a Hamas cat wearing a red keffiyeh, surrounded by the inverted red triangle of the flag of Palestine. /end id]

It's Fine Press Friday!

Red Wise, a Thousand and One Nights-like fable modelled after the life of the classical Arabic poet Abu Nowas, was written by English translator and poet Edward Powys Mathers (1892–1939) and was printed and published by his friend, the Irish printer and wood engraver Robert Gibbings (1889-1958) in 1926 two years after Gibbings acquired the Golden Cockerel Press. It was printed on handmade paper with Gibbings's own engravings in an edition of 500 copies. Mather was delighted with the production and wrote to Gibbings's wife Moira:

You have turned Red Wise into a really superb book; I can't tell you how pleased I am with it. And, . . . one or two people have managed to like the content already. . . .

Indeed, it was well reviewed by several publications, including the Times Literary Supplement, Bookman's Journal, and the New Statesman. The London Mercury thought otherwise, however:

Red Wise reminded me of a Beardsley hag rigged out as a fairy godmother. It is a well-done book, of slight indecency almost hidden beneath the decoration; but the mere ingenuity of the disguise shows the author has spent more time on it than is either healthy or profitable.

We haven't read the text, but we do like the wood engravings and the overall production. And it also has nice endpapers with glittery gold ink!

george russell is interviewed after fp2, abu dhabi - november 24, 2023 (transcription under the cut)

Interviewer: "Well, George, that wasn't the smoothest Friday we've ever seen [laughs] in F1, but encouraging pace from you, nonetheless. How happy are you with your Friday?" George: "It was a pretty positive Friday, I must say. Obviously in FP1 a lot of young drivers in the car, so difficult to gauge where the pace of the car was at. FP2, very interrupted, but I felt happy, I felt good out there. The long run pace seems good, which is gonna be the most important. I think it's gonna be close out there with the likes of Lando and maybe Charles. We always know obviously Red Bull have got a little bit more in their pocket, so I'm excited going into tomorrow." Interviewer: "Now, can I just ask you, you made interesting comments in FP1 about what I assumed was a test item on the car, saying that you were having to turn a bit more at low speed? Can we know anything more about that, or is that a 2024 development?" George: "Big secrets. Big secrets. No, no, no. No, we're just trying to feel little bits and bobs on the car that we've tried over a number of races. It was just having a slightly different effect here in Abu Dhabi than we had at previous races, so just feeding back to the team, but all good." Interviewer: "Thank you." George: "Thank you."
