New Website
We have decided that we are going to revise our website and, as we speak, a dedicated team of highly skilled and hugely underpaid designers are hard at work on Nonsuch, Mark II. You might ask why they are doing this for us - it’s because they love us, not as much as technology, but they love us.
We hope to unveil this within the next month, until then, we will only be updating this site to give you details of new releases. We will be updating our Nonsuch Facebook page, which you are all welcome to join here.
New books to keep an eye out for in the shops are:
Soupers and Jumpers, by Miriam Moffitt. This is being launched at Clifden Arts Festival, by Minister Eamon O Cuiv.
Also just out is What the Doctor Ordered; an encyclopaedia of the Wexford Opera Festival, by Kevin Lewis. One for the Opera buffs.
That’s all for now.

Spike Island - Released Feb 2008
Michael Martin
ISBN: 9781845889104
Price: €14.99
After fourteen centuries of military and ecclesiastical heritage, 2005 saw the then-Justice Minister Michael McDowell put in place proposals to turn Spike Island into Ireland’s ‘Alcatraz’, through the construction of a €70 million super-prison.
In 2007, following extensive campaigning, these plans were dropped, and the new plans for the the island to be preserved as a world heritage site put in place. The chairman of Cobh Tourism at the time was Michael Martin, the author of this work, the story of our very own ‘Devil’s Island’.
On 30 January this year, RTE’s Tom MacSweeney officially launched Spike Island on board the LE Roisin, at the Deep Water Quay in Cobh. It is available in all good bookshops.
