March 2023 Newsletter
Welcome to the March 2023 newsletter from Stella and Rose's Books. The aim of our newsletter is to keep you informed of new information, articles and books available on our website. As always, we hope this newsletter finds you well.
Our building work is progressing well with the final flooring being laid as we write this. We can then start to reassemble the room. This will take a few weeks as we're going to build a new desk area. This will hopefully look a lot smarter and make life a little easier for our staff.
In local news, the Wireworks Bridge refurbishment is almost complete. Once it reopens, it will once again be possible to cycle from Chepstow to Tintern along the Greenway (the old railway). There is also a new produce market starting in Tintern. The market will be in the village hall every 2nd Saturday of the month (starting April 8th).
Our articles this month are particularly diverse: 3d printing and Aesop's Fables! We hope you enjoy the newsletter!
Additive Manufacturing – or 3D Printing contributed by Steve

I suppose there is a great British tradition of men tinkering away in sheds at the bottom of gardens – inventing some amazing contraption or fixing that kitchen appliance that has decided to stop working. I like to think that Additive Manufacturing - better known as 3D printing - falls into this same tradition. Its popularity, low cost and minimal barriers to entry have allowed a younger generation to rapidly realise ideas or quickly design and print spare parts for obsolete gadgets. Read more... |

The Big Book of Fables Edited by Walter Jerrold and Illustrated by Charles Robinson contributed by Sonia
|
The Big Book of Fables Edited by Walter Jerrold and Illustrated by Charles Robinson Walter Jerrold has chosen the fables and edited this Big Book of Fables which was first published in 1912 (although, of course, the fables themselves are much older). Jerrold was a writer and newspaper editor. He spent much of his time in London, starting out as a clerk in a newspaper counting house and going on to become deputy editor of The Observer. The book is covered with red cloth and has a gilt patterned and titled spine. The first edition has a gilt design to the front board, whereas the early reprints have a blind design i.e., no gilt.
