Born at the beginning of that same year, Roddy Martine’s involvement commenced in 1963 when, at the age of sixteen, he edited an Edinburgh Festival magazine.   Therefore both Richard and Roddy have highly individual memories of the most remarkable international festival of the arts the world has ever known. At the same time, both have witnessed its evolution from the noble vision of its founders.   Now in its seventy-sixth year, can the Edinburgh Festival survive?  Demarco’s Edinburgh will be a hit with any Edinburgh Festival regular, newbie or on-and-off visitor. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about the modern history of Edinburgh or the world of the arts, given the central role the festivals hold in the culture of both.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745508761873,"sku":"NGR9781804250952","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50184781431057,"sku":"GOR013883293","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50197181890833,"sku":"GOR013255658","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50457574211857,"sku":"GOR013312883","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1804250953.jpg?v=1751437687"},{"product_id":"richard-demarco-joseph-beuys-book-richard-demarco-9781910745595","title":"Richard Demarco \u0026 Joseph Beuys","description":"This is a collection of Richard Demarcos essays, writings and around 200 images celebrating the relationship between himself and German artist Joseph Beuys.

In the 1970s, Richard Demarco embarked on a series of journeys, starting in Edinburgh, to recover a sense of our living culture in the  environments around us. These radiated out across Europe,  underpinning the internationalism of this unique Scottish-Italian  artist’s own extraordinary journey.   Forty years later, the journey is renewed with this reproduction of  Demarco’s original artwork and his first Meikle Seggie essay, along  with a new translation into Italian and a new introduction.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50234635976977,"sku":"GOR013895011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51438349156625,"sku":"GOR006981496","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910021849.jpg?v=1751440081"},{"product_id":"richard-demarco-book-richard-demarco-9780905489544","title":"Richard Demarco","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50429439967505,"sku":"GOR004242779","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0905489543.jpg?v=1751397349"},{"product_id":"demarco-s-scotland-book-richard-demarco-9781804251669","title":"Demarco's Scotland","description":"Scotland’s greatest gift to the world has been itself, its culture, its creativity, the extraordinary ability of its people to integrate and celebrate what truly matters in global terms, friendship and decency.
