When over 33,000 publishing professionals and book lovers walk through the same doors, you know the books on display matter. Studio of Books was proud to bring such masterpieces at the much-anticipated 2026 London Book Fair.
“Advice from the Grizzly Bears” by Dr. Muriel McClellan stepped onto the international stage at the 2026 London Book Fair, held 10–12 March at Olympia, London. This year, the book fair welcomed 1,005 exhibitors and more than 33,000 visitors.
The London Book Fair (LBF) is one of the most prestigious events in the publishing world, uniting authors, publishers, literary agents, and industry professionals from over 100 countries. Far beyond a traditional book fair, it is a global marketplace for the sale and distribution of content across print, audio, film, and digital media — where deals are made, voices are amplified, and new stories find their readers.
This is where authors meet publishers, literary agents pitch to foreign buyers, and book lovers discover their next great read. It is, above all, where ideas become movements.
What if the wisest advice you ever received came from a grizzly bear?
In Advice from the Grizzly Bears, Dr. Muriel McClellan — psychologist, world traveler, and wildlife photographer — invites readers into one of the most untamed corners of the earth: Alaska. What began as a photography expedition became something far more unexpected. Surrounded by grizzly bears in their natural habitat, Dr. McClellan found herself listening — and what she heard was wisdom worth sharing.
The result is a stunning collection of wildlife photography paired with captions that weave together psychological insight and the powerful, grounded lessons the bears seemed to offer. Each image captures the breathtaking beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. Each caption offers something to carry into everyday life — a quiet nudge toward clarity, strength, resilience, or simply a more intentional way of moving through the world.
Versatile by design, this book meets its reader wherever they are. It can be savored alone as a tool for personal reflection, shared with children as a gentle way to explore choices and values, or used by therapists as a disarming conversation starter — particularly with young people who find it difficult to open up. Thought-provoking for adults and accessible to children, it is part photography book, part life guide, and entirely unlike anything else on the shelf.
