Limited edition paperback books filled with unconventional travel tales from everyday people.

27/08/2025

It’s been exactly 6 years since I printed 20 copies of the first chapter of On Vélo and forced one on the creator of Wallace and Gromit at festival. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It also marks the beginning of an obsession with books and this imprint.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So much has happened during that time but what’s remained is an insatiable appetite for sharing the inspiring travel stories of our fellow global neighbours. In some ways I feel like we’re only getting started…⁣⁣
⁣
Buy me a beer and I’ll tell you know I made the hand-pressed lino covers…

⁣
You can still grab one from our website, but please be aware it is pre order only as I need to order more copies. Will do this pronto.⁣
⁣
Stay tuned 👀⁣

We’ve gone all pro and applied for our first award! 🌟⁣
⁣
The Boardman Tasker award celebrates books about mountains (god knows we have a few!). It was established in 1982 in memory of two men who disappeared on an expedition. The award event will be held at Kendall Mountain Festival.⁣
⁣
Alex and I have decided to submit In Search of Mount Kailash. Copies are sent, and now we pray 🙏 ⁣

Stoked to have been asked to participate in the Fellow’s Festival over the weekend 🌟⁣
⁣
The zine fare sat alongside panel discussions and workshops, all about the power of connection.⁣
⁣
It was a pleasure to meet so many interesting folk and hear their own stories about their connection to creativity and the fellowship program. I also had a blast repping Sunrider and sharing our own origin story, books, and mission 🫡⁣
⁣
Thanks to those who engaged and purchased some books/merch, and a super thank you to for asking us along, my partner for being my sidekick, and all the other brilliant stall holders – it was so inspiring to meet and see your work!⁣
⁣
Until the next one!

What a weekend! ⁣
⁣
On Saturday I travelled to London with a suitcase full of books to finally meet Alex. ⁣
⁣
It was strangely like meeting an old friend. We had a good yarn before I finally put him to work, signing our first edition copies.⁣
⁣
Sadly I only got one photo – I guess that’s what happens when you’re in the moment!⁣
⁣
Pre order copies shipping this week with some exciting news to follow 🚀

BOOK FIVE!⁣
⁣
Our longest yet and first time working with an author unknown to the Sunrider network. She’s an absolute stunner.⁣
⁣
It’s been a pleasure to put this one together and I’m really proud of it. The story and book itself are unlike anything we’ve released so far but also sit comfortably in the good company of our back catalogue.⁣
⁣
On Saturday I’ll travel to London to meet Alex and sign some books, most likely with a beer in hand as he spins a yarn or two.⁣
⁣
Pre-order copies can still be ordered from our website (link in bio). Customers outside of UK have until Saturday due to shipping constraints 🌏⁣
⁣
Thanks for your support! Mike x⁣

Stoked to reveal the full cover for our upcoming release (sans front dust flap, which I can upload separately). ⁣
⁣
Really happy with how this turned out. Amy’s illustration is elegant and eye-catching and the prayer flags on the back cover really help tie it all together 💫⁣. I’ve kept the typeface classic and simple as a homage to travel books immemorial and those you may find in academic. ⁣

If you’d like a first edition signed copy just head to the SRP website.⁣⁣
