AN artist's celebration of Ledbury has been reprinted, several years after its initial sell-out success.

Anthony Bateman of Newbury Park went out into the town with pen and paper to create his "Ledbury Sketchbook", which is an accomplished and often witty look at local life.

Because the book was so well received the first time round, as a "celebration of people and places in the town in the form of sketches and commentary", Mr Bateman has now put out a reprint, and this is available again in local bookshops.
