New Publication
This month will see the
launch of our latest
publication, together with
Farnham Public Art Trust.
One of our popular authors,
Roy Waight, has cooperated
with local Farnham
personality Sue Farrow to
produce a book putting
Farnham's public art in its
historical context. Those of
you who have read Roy's work
before will be conscious of
the readability of his
books, while imparting much
information about our town.
The sheer quantity of public
art in the town is truly
amazing, and the pair have
found some pieces of art
which will be surprise most
people. The book is lavishly
illustrated and has a useful
map of the whereabouts of
the art.
F&DMS invites you to a
launch, to be held at 7pm on
Friday 24th June at the
Farnham branch of
Waterstones, where both
authors will be present. The
launch will be jointly
hosted by F&DMS and Farnham
Public Art Trust, and light
refreshments will be
available.
The price of the book will
be £13.99. We hope very much
that you will support this
venture, copies of the book
will be available later at
our usual outlets.
