Sad news to share, Steve Walsh dies
We are so upset to have to share the sad news that Steve Walsh has died.
Steve was so supportive of Bog Eyed Books, acting as our sales rep. He was so generous with his time and energy, not only helping us but many other small publishers.
We will miss his fun-loving character.
We love you and miss you Steve. RIP.

Our fantastic logo was created by the very clever lot at Baxter and Bailey. We’ve had lots of comments and people wanting to know who had designed it, so we knew it was pretty special, but today we found out that they had received a prestigious D & AD “pencil”!
We are very proud of our award winning logo…. we love it!
