Morning! There are a couple of things we wanted to highlight for readers, and Further Reading is as good a way as any to do so.
Firstly, we are now DEFINITELY hosting a pub quiz in New York, after securing a sponsor. Huzzah! The provisional date is March 28. We’re still figuring out the venue, which will allow us to nail down the date more firmly, but if you’’re anywhere on the east coast and desperate to come then hold that day free for now. More details to come.
Secondly, I’ve rebooted my old personal newsletter Buy The Dip, and aside from literally talking my book(s) I’m primarily using it as a way to get Alphaville content out and into people’s inbox (which has been a frequent reader request for a while). It’s free, goes out weekly on Sundays, and includes links to most/all of what we’ve written in the last seven days.
The best way to get pinged new AV content is to add us to “myFT” and set up an email alert, but if you’d prefer a weekly AV round-up — plus some occasional deep cuts — then this should do the trick. You can subscribe here.
