Alon Hetzroni’s short film about the hand-setting, printing and binding of Pointe Shoes, a book of verse and illustrations by Israeli poet Ronny Someck.
A bespoke production by book artist Ido Agassi that results in a print run of just 88 copies.

Libraries.
They gave us power AND free books.
Tuesday’s post about Libraries: a new LAVISH tome featuring Trinity College Library and The National Library of Ireland prompted one commenter to ask: “Any chance of a competition for a copy?”
Well.
It turns out the buke is published in Dublin by luxury brand, Roads.
At a “Ssssh”-making €45!
AND we have one (yes just ONE) copy of Libraries (Roads €45) to giveaway to ONE delinquent library lender.
Just complete this guilt admission
I would like to now confess that in my younger years I failed to return__________________ [name book here] and I am very sorry.

Ms Fitzgerald said it was time to listen to whistleblowers and she paid tribute to the work of Sgt Maurice McCabe…
…she intends to press ahead with reforms and structural changes, including the establishment of an independent policing authority by the end of this year.

[Padraig Gaffney]
The young Irishman who declared earlier this week that a Melbourne flood damage court case had ruined his life is dead.
The circumstances around the death of Padraig Gaffney are unknown but the Irish Echo can confirm that the 29-year-old died on Wednesday, May 7 just a day after he faced court in Melbourne.
Mr Gaffney, who was originally from Lanesborough in Co Longford, pleaded guilty to criminal damage and was handed a $10,000 fine over an incident in April last year when he set off a fire hydrant in a hotel.
Tragic postscript to flood damage court case (Billy Cantwell, Irish Echo)
