THIS ITEM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AFTER 18 SEPTEMBER
"In the early 90s, I spent a lot of time with a band called Oasis - I wrote two books about them, in fact.
During that time, Noel asked me to write the liner notes for their album (What's The Story) Morning Glory. So one Sunday morning at nine o'clock, whilst 100 per cent sober, I wrote the Morning Glory Prosium while visiting my sister's in Horley.
People have always said to me how much they liked this surreal ode to a band and the magic they created.
To celebrate the reunion of the brothers, I've curated a Prosium package I think you will like." - PH.

Dear Rod...An Apology
Paolo Hewitt
In this heartfelt story, Paolo Hewitt shares how the music of Rod Stewart and The Faces changed his life. Growing up in a children’s home, everything changed when he discovered A Nod Is As Good As A Wink, opening a door to a brighter world.
“The poster showed the band as a band of brothers, bound together by feather-cut haircuts, contagious smiles, and a collective sense of a mission to have fun.”
Told with warmth, humour, and honesty, Dear Rod…an apology is more than a fan letter — it’s a testament to music’s power to heal, and a long-overdue thank you to the man who helped Paolo find hope, identity, and light in the dark.
Sorrento Books
Sorrento Books is an independent publisher dedicated to reviving the spirit of chapbooks, with a focus on popular culture from our leading contemporary voices.
Our chapbooks echo the rich tradition of these small, accessible booklets that once brought stories, ideas, and commentary to the masses.
We’re proud to launch with three chapbooks by acclaimed journalist and author Paolo Hewitt, part of his When My Soul Was in the Lost and Found series. Hewitt’s work captures the essence of music, culture, and personal reflection—perfectly aligning with the ethos of chapbooks as a platform for unique and compelling narratives.
Historically, chapbooks emerged in the 16th century from broadsides, offering folk tales, ballads, religious texts, and political commentary. Sold by itinerant “chapmen,” they were a lifeline between cities and rural communities and played a key role in making literature accessible.

We are proud to introduce ICONS, an exclusive series of prints designed by Micklewhite and Leach, the creative minds behind our chapbook covers.
Our first three releases pays tribute to three trailblazers of 1960s culture:
-
David Hemmings – the charismatic star of Blow-Up, the defining cinematic reflection on the swinging 60s.
-
Mary Quant - revolutionary designer and retail pioneer who popularised super-high hemlines, and made London the epicentre of cool.
-
Cathy McGowan - trendsetting presenter of Ready, Steady, Go!, who became the face of 1960s youth culture and Mod fashion.
Each print is beautifully produced on 200g museum-quality paper to give each print a heavyweight feel, using state-of-the-art 12-colour giclée print process for rich colour depth and fine detail.
More ICONS will be revealed in October - but we want your input. Do you have an icon in mind? Email us at contact@sorrentobooks.co.uk and let us know who you think deserves the spotlight.
Prints available from 25 September.
