‘Something Familiar’
In this first shift from bi-annual magazine to a more thoughtful, in-depth annual publication, we bring you a myriad of stories to slow down and savour. This book is a keepsake of memories, conversations and imagination to keep you company over quiet mornings, cups of coffee, or long, lazy afternoons. But, more than that, a lovingly designed piece to treasure for life.

Friends Sophie Wyburd and Hannah Crosbie get together over wine, Comte and a tomato tart to explore their answers to a set of questions set by the Table team - a conversation covering everything from crushes to politics; current song obsessions and global politics. An ode to the delicious, meandering talks that unfold between good friends. The high and the low, the silly and the important. The discussions that are often our salvation.
