Edinburgh International Book Festival - Julian Baggini: The Book of Coffee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Author and philosopher Julian Baggini’s session at this year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival was aiming at something rather different: using coffee to think about how we live. Baggini shared the Spiegeltent stage with Washington Vieira and Erin Newby Vieira of Santu Coffee, whose roastery on Union Street is one of the very best places in the city to sit down and drink coffee. Baggini is not, by his own admission, a coffee obsessive. He wrote The Book of Coffee with help from James Hoffma
Edinburgh International Book Festival- Anthony Seldon: The Brexit Effect (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anthony Seldon, the historian, commentator and educator, gave a consummate performance built around his new edited collection, The Brexit Effect, 2016-2026, which brings together essays from a range of contributors on the referendum and its consequences.

The Edinburgh International Book Festival 2026 - Philippe Sands: Ten Years of East West Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
In about 25 minutes at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, promoting her book The Common Good Economy, she raced through the key elements of her ‘mission’ approach to economics. Near the end she admitted she could ‘talk for an hour’, and there was little doubt she could. Reviewed as a Fringe show, it would earn at least four stars. As a contribution to public debate on political economy, the question is less straightforward. Such was the pace that I wondered if I was alone in finding part
ScotlandsFest: Richard Demarco and the Festival he Lost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Newly turned 96, Demarco had already overrun his slot at ScotlandsFest, discussing Demarco’s Europe, his third book with writer Roddy Martine, published by Luath Press. Afterwards, as he signed copies, he drew each person in the long queue into conversation, following his familiar, meandering train of thought and apparently oblivious to the audience waiting to get in. Even after being ushered out, he continued for another hour, inscribing books, talking to anyone who would listen and expounding
