Episode image is a detail from the cover of Schott’s Original Miscellany by Ben Schott, published in 2003 by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC.
For the 69th Second Hand Book Factory, Charles Adrian is joined at the Festival Hall in London by Tom Bowtell, who describes himself as a writer, actor, director and maker of adventures (and you can look up some of the things he has done with the company Coney here). Their discussion covers bold beginnings, the riches to be found in random facts and bird ‘jizz’ (entirely SFW, by the way).
Another book by Patrick Ness, The Knife Of Never Letting Go, is discussed in Page One 18.
How To Be A Bad Birdwatcher by Simon Barnes is also discussed in Page One 180.
