It’s publication day again! Face with Tears of Joy: A Natural History of Emoji is published today in the UK and other non-US territories.

You can order a copy from Norton, Amazon, Waterstones, Bookshop.org, Blackwell’s or Topping & Company. (If you’re ever in Linlithgow, Scotland, drop into my local bookshop, Far From the Madding Crowd — I’ll try to sign a few copies for them.)
