A collection of lyrical sweet-nothings whispered to afternoons lost in old bookshops, handwritten dedications in secondhand editions, reading to a child, and 47 other reminders of why we love books
Scribbles in the Margins is Daniel Gray’s sixth book, and the second in his series of 'Delights'. His first book, Homage to Caledonia was turned into a television miniseries when Gray was just 27, and he continues to present history on Scottish TV. He writes a travel column for The Leither magazine, and his work has appeared across various newspapers and on BBC radio. He lives in Edinburgh. @d_gray_writer
