"Truly unique, somewhere between art, atlas, bird book and poetry. I smiled when I held it and turned the pages."
“It’s a celebration of birds and buildings, winter, overheard conversations and stories, empty places and busy streets."
"Love this book very much… it’s very clever and beautifully crafted. It’s a treasure.”

It Started With The Starlings has been a labour of love since 2004, when I produced the first prints that appear in these pages. I'm proud of how it feels to hold in my hand and to read and take in.
The book is part atlas, part bird book, part picture book, part story book.
I love an old atlas and had this in mind for this book, so it is quite a big book at just under 21x30cm and 124 pages. It's pretty heavy too which I'm strangely pleased about. The paper is lovely and thick and untreated so it has a nice matt feel.
The book is printed by a company who seem to have a really good approach to their environmental and sustainability responsibilities.
Your book will be sent carefully packaged in a strong cardboard book mailer.
All the best
