Borderlines is on its way… my book can be pre-ordered through any of the sources linked here by my publishers. It’s an unusual angle on European history. I hope you like it. https://t.co/Nyy776013k

A huge thank you to Lewis for joining the show. His book BORDERLINES - which I read over Christmas - is a really fantastic read. Moving, fascinating, immensely evocative. I loved it!

Actually finally, a shameful omission from the above is

Borderlines by @BastonBorders, as a fellow lover of borders, frontiers, checkpoints and vanished corners of Europe, his book was a treat to read

@88Luca_Adams @MurielDomenach @BrunoTertrais Thank you!

[Muriel Domenach @MurielDomenach]

On key borders (central Europe and elsewhere) that define the past, present and future of Europe, a must read by @BastonBorders.
The book captures so many of my travel notes better than i would have done.
Thanks @BrunoTertrais for the tip.
Looking forward to a 🇫🇷 translation.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

@MurielDomenach @BrunoTertrais Thank you! I hope there will be a French translation, too.

@hoyer_kat Just bought 'Vertigo.' New to me so thanks for the recommendation. Was also pleased to see @BastonBorders' book listed. I think it's a modern masterpiece.

@nickfshort @hoyer_kat Thank you so much.

@FronteirasPT @Burai_L @daniel_passport @jimineuropa @paulolisboa @Pillandia @YuriiKazakov One of my favourite border territories. Looks like you had a good visit.

[David Storey @DavidStorey60]

Reading @lewis_baston @BastonBorders - 1st chapter deals with the Irish border; pleased to see he devotes some space to the vexed question of Tayto!

I wrote about what mass deportation involves. https://t.co/G6LuYvwFeP

@KrystiBrice It’s very easy to get set up there and it’s a lot like Twitter was before things went bad. I’m keeping this borders account going for a bit because BlSk is still a bit British/ US and my community here is pleasantly multinational.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

I’m shutting down my main account here but I’ll keep this one going for a bit. I’ll be over where the Sky is blue.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

Been thinking - a bit gloomily - about this bit from Borderlines.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

@AnnaMTuckett I sympathise. These are dark times. And thank you to your brother for his service to Poland, Europe and civilised values.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

Thanks Alex! Be like Alex (and Alex’s friends) and buy, read, and give copies of Borderlines. I’m proud of it and I hope people like it.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

@nickfshort Too kind! Glad you are having a good time.

[Borderlines @BastonBorders]

@nickfshort @OrchardSimon Indeed!

#Borderlands. The small river that divides #Latvia from #Lithuania here at Ezeres. Bridge destroyed during #WW2 and never rebuilt. There is a nearby new road bridge though.

Millions of Germans once lived east of the current state boundaries - a sensitive part of history that some seek to reverse, others to erase. Is it possible to do neither while allowing future Germans to remember East Prussia & Co, I wonder in ZEITGEIST 👇
