Ciao tutti! Well, it's that time of year again! Here at PP Headquarters we've been running around in a whirlwind of pre-Bologna madness preparing everything to take to Bologna Bookfair next week. We're finally almost there and Hannah and Chloe fly out tomorrow, (for a sneaky couple of days in Italy before the fair!). This year we have just over 50 meetings with clients to attend, so it's going to be as hectic as normal! We can't wait to show all of our incredible artists' new work to clients, as well as some truly wonderful project concepts. We'll be in touch with an update post the fair! Ciao, a presto!
