About

Book signing with local author Jon Cook at Barlow Village Hall.

This ex local teacher has always been fascinated by lines drawn on a map and the influence that these borders can have on people. 

His new book, Bordering on the Ridiculous, tells the human side to crossing and changing borders. It's different, funny and quirky.

Free wine and cheese for all attendees.
