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.
“Don’t Look, Ethel!: Slices of Faith, Humor, Inspiration” by Nicholas Doster 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.
A Book You’ve Been Warned Not to Read
Medusa turned those who looked at her to stone. Lot’s wife snuck one glance and became a pillar of salt. Ethel ignored her husband’s pleading at a Ray Stevens concert in 1974 — and, well, lost more than she bargained for.
The pattern is clear. Looking when you’ve been told not to is almost never a good idea.
And yet.
Don’t Look, Ethel!: Slices of Faith, Humor, Inspiration comes with a fair warning — even its own characters, the suspect duo known only as Bacon and Genius, would strongly implore you to put it down and walk away. This is your official notice.
But if you happen to be someone who enjoys quick, witty doses of humor woven together with genuine faith and hard-earned wisdom — if you’ve ever laughed in church, found grace in the absurd, or suspected that God has a sense of humor — then this book may have already found its reader.
The choice, as always, is yours. Proceed at your own risk.
One little peek couldn’t possibly do any harm.
