Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Where are we going to eat tonight? What's the best place for a drink? Where do locals buy their fruit and vegetables? Where are the best delicatessens? All tourists who love good food have asked themselves these questions when visiting a city or country. Many travel guides suggest some food addresses but these are generally very few, unoriginal and, most of the time, crowded with other tourists. This new series, on the other hand, promises the opposite: each title will bring you the heart of gastronomy of the selected destination. Starred restaurants, bistros, canteens, street food, Asian cuisine, chic picnics: in Eat London the best of London is lying on a silver platter just for you! In addition, you'll find addresses to the best delicatessens, the best wine bars, the best cookery equipment stores or specialised gastronomy bookstores of each city. Contents: Stores and General Food; Markets; Tea Time; Bakeries and Pastry Shops; Breakfast; Pubs and Drinks; On the Go; Restaurants. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. To look at Oliver Hellowell's photography is to see the natural world through his eyes. - Boudicca Fox-Leonard, The Telegraph In Ollie's hands [.] the camera is more than a mere instrument; it is an extension of his inquisitive mind. - Iolo Williams From flower-filled forests to ancient castles and isolated lochs, from the concrete jungle to the play of sunlight across the sea, the latest book from award-winning young photographer Oliver Hellowell captures Britain at its most beautiful. The British landscape is renowned for its infinite moods. Oliver's photography celebrates this, capturing rain-jewelled flowers and haunting, mist-shrouded ruins. Perhaps the most charming aspect of his work is his ability to highlight overlooked beauty. To some, the dandelion is nothing but a weed - but Oliver finds a worthwhile subject in even the humblest wildflower. Insightful commentary reveals the inspiration behind each of Oliver's pictures. An ode to the British Isles from a passionate young photographer, every page demonstrates the enthusiasm and talent that endeared Oliver to his worldwide following.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. For the past thrity years this chunky, fact-filled book has established itself as the bible of antique collectors and dealers, the indispensable source of addresses, telephone numbers, maps, and specialty indexes. Well-thumbed copies are to be found in car glove compartments and on the reference shelves of antiques enthusiasts and professionals both in this country and abroad. We are delighted that The Daily Telegraph has given recognition to the Guide's importance and established position in the marketplace by having its name associated with the title for a third year. A new edition is issued each year. By its very nature the antiques trade is in a state of constant change: new shops open, old ones close, and dealers move. Every year there are changes to over half the 7,000 establishments listed and as many as 1,000 dealers open or close. Because the Guide has been produced by the same long-standing and dedicated team of editors and researchers, it is uniquely placed for accuracy. As a saver of time and wasted journeys the up-to-date edition is equally essential. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Maryniak, Tom (illustrator). Walk into any bar, in almost any part of the world, and there, on the back shelf you're likely to see Baijiu, Cognac, Vodka, Scottish and Irish Whisky, Shochu, Tequila, Bourbon, Rum, Gin, and Absinthe. These drinks helped shape our culture; inspired authors and painters, brought both anarchy and harmony and even, in some cases, induced mass hysteria. In Ten Drinks That Changed the World, bartender, poet and writer Seki Lynch tells the stories behind the spirits. Tracing the origins of each drink, he dissects the ingredients and locates the first makers, exploring how perceptions and consumption levels have ebbed and flowed through the centuries. Cocktail recipes, lists of artisan makers and insights from the great, good and notorious drinkers of history help complete the resume for each drink. London artist Tom Maryniak has created original illustrations of each drink for the book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Gin'll FIx It is Simon's 28th book charting the progress of this artist, illustrator, verse-maker, punster, Reading football club supporter and gallery owner. This is a compilation of some of his recent work - wordplay and verse appear with detailed illustrations. The mood is humor, satire and curiosity about the world. Domestic animals, birds and beasts of the farmyard and the zoo, these are his favorite pictorial subjects - and they are only humanized by the virtue of the context in which Drew puts them. The creatures themselves are realistic: their situations are not. This contrast, along with rhymes and puns, creates the humor. A sense of the absurd permeates all his books and here are some fine examples of Drew playing with absurdities and contradictions. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Welcome back to the wonderful world of Simon Drew! A combination of artist and wordsmith, Simon combines these talents with an inventive and quirky sense of humour in his range of books, this being his twenty-fourth. A new perspective unfolds: the familiar becomes unfamiliar, the known becomes unknown, the serious becomes humorous, reality becomes nonsense.This is the story, illustrated with Drew's instantly recognisable drawings, of how a detective-cum-spy of very special prowess (a.k.a. Rabbit the dog) tracks down his enemy. Extraordinary ingenuity and stealth assist him in his task of rooting out evil, pursuing it doggedly and resolving to rid the world of its blight. He is persistent. He is cunning. He is undaunted. He also appears rather sheepish.Even more original, if possible, than all of his previous titles, "Shepherd Spy" contains a humorous narrative unfolding over each double-page spread. What is more, within the text is a competition, the prizes for which are signed original drawings from the book, being offered to the first few readers who discover the place-name concealed in the story. If all this weren't enough there are also 'hidden animals' secreted in each image, whose names can be found in the text alongside. How many things can you get into one book?

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Design series is the winner of the Brand/Series Identity Category at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2009, judges said: "A series of books about design, they had to be good and these are. The branding is consistent, there is a good use of typography and the covers are superb." Claud Lovat Fraser - universally known as Lovat - is one of the great unsung heroes of twentieth-century British design. During his short life of just thirty-one years, five of which were disrupted by the Great War, he achieved an astonishing amount of work as draughtsman, watercolourist, caricaturist, publisher, illustrator, designer of stage-sets, toys and fabrics: he also designed silks for Liberty's, cretonnes for Foxton's, advertising material for Eno's, MacFisheries, Gurr Johns and Atkinson's, and book-jackets for Heinemann and Nelson, among others. His inimitable style and psychedelic palette became the hallmark of both the Curwen Press and the Poetry Bookshop, but he is best remembered today, by those who are aware of him at all, for his poster, costume and set-designs for Nigel Playfair's 1920 production of The Beggar's Opera at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) was the most celebrated graphic designer working in Britain in the twentieth century. Born in Montana, he left America before the first world war to travel throughout Europe absorbing the influences of the Cubists and the German poster artist Ludwig Hohlwein. At the onset of war he settled in London. Seeing himself as a painter, he allied himself with the London Group and the Vorticists. He worked at Roger Fry's Omega Workshops with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, and in 1915 was commissioned by Frank Pick, then the publicity manager at London Underground. This was the beginning of a client-designer relationship that lasted throughout the 1920s and '30s, only ending when Kauffer returned to New York in 1940. His posters, brilliantly coloured and strikingly modern, struck London like a Cubist thunderbolt. Soon other clients, Jack Beddington at Shell, Sir Colin Anderson at the Orient Shipping line, the Daily Herald (the instantly recognisable Birds in Flight pos.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Dictionary of Victorian Painters, first published in 1971, and since reprinted and revised many times, has for so long been the undisputed standard reference on a period of painting that continues to excite and interest the art world, that it was only a question of time before another revision and reformatted version appeared. The Dictionary now appears in two volumes, each complementary to one another yet entirely independent works depending on the particular interest of the reader. This volume, Victorian Painters: 2. Historical Survey and Plates, opens with a scholarly survey of Victorian painting in which the author discusses the development and characteristics of Victorian painting, setting it within the context of the time. This fascinating survey ranges over the early years of Victoria's reign and the vogue for literary genre, social realist and fairy paintings; analyses the brief life of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the 1850s and its enormous and far-reaching influence for virtually the rest of the century; discusses the various artistic movements - aesthetic, classical, romantic - and the 'giants' who created and contributed to them; and discusses the depiction of social ills and the idealised life of the cottager during a period of rapid change and readjustment. The study also includes discussion of the more traditional areas of painting: portrait, landscape, marine, military, topographical, still-life, garden, sporting and animal. It ends with a discussion of English Impressionism and the vogue for artists' colonies at the end of the 19th century, a far cry from when the story began, and an indication of the diversity and richness of this period in English art. This book is illustrated with 47 full colour plates, and is followed by a section of some 750 black and white plates which reflect the tremendous output and range of the period. As a visual reference this title will prove invaluable not only to art historians, museum curators, dealers and students of the period, but will also have a wide general appeal. The companion to this volume, Victorian Painters: 1. The Text, contains over 11,000 entries which list every artist recorded during the period 137-1901. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

In addition to the facades, Andras Kaldor has also added many detailed drawings of particular aspects of both the exteriors and interiors of the buildings.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. As the world speeds up, as technology takes over, it is worth remembering how we used to live. This three-book series is a nostalgic hymn to an era when life was slower: a meandering ramble through the British countryside by bicycle, automobile and train. Take an amble across the countryside with this book, which celebrates a time when our railway network was more than a permanently delayed omnishambles of overcrowded and overpriced trains. Country stations and lonely halts, milk churns and coal yards, enamelled signs and platform clocks - these are the fragments of a more leisured age, from a time when the local station was a well-loved institution at the heart of so many communities. Here are gas-lit rural stations, oil lamps on level crossing gates, enamelled signs, waiting room fires, timetables and luggage labels. Less a clattering, steamy ride into the past than a touchstone for joyous memories of such a vital and well-loved institution, The Slow Train harks back to a more measured, considered era.
