ADAM ALLSUCH BOARDMAN – ATLANTIC BOOKS

With the festive season fast approaching it seemed an apt moment to share Adam’s excellent book cover artwork for ‘A Very British Christmas’ by Rob Temple, ‘Your Festive Survival Guide’. Quoted from Amazon: Christmas, as we all know, is a minefield. What the hell do you buy your mother-in-law? How to deal with the inevitable arguments provoked by a simple game of Monopoly? And where should you sit at the dining table to best avoid Grandad when he starts going off about politics?’ Sounds like a great purchase!!
