Graphic Design Rules
365 Essential Design Dos & Don'ts
Peter Dawson, John Foster, Tony Seddon & Sean Adams
With a foreword by Stefan G. Bucher
Packed with practical advice but presented in a light-hearted fashion,
this is the perfect book for the ever-growing group of non-designers who
want some graphic design guidance. And for more experienced designers,
individual entries will either bring forth knowing nods of agreement or
hoots of derision, depending on whether or not the reader loves or hates
hyphenation, has a pathological fear of beige, or thinks that baseline grids
are boring.
In the style of a classical almanac, 365 entries combine a specific rule
with a commentary from a variety of experienced designers from all
fields. Grouped into six colour-coded chapters - typography, colour, layout,
imagery, production and creative thinking - the reader can either dip in at
random or use the book as the source of a daily lesson in how to produce
great graphic design.

The Meaning of Home
Edwin Heathcote
We are so familiar with the features of our homes – the rooms,
fixtures and myriad little decorative details – that we have forgotten
how to look at them. We might explore a church, read a book or watch
a film, and attempt to decode its symbols and references, but we
rarely look at our homes with the same critical eye. Yet from the most
ordinary apartment to the most extravagant mansion, every home is
a deep well of meaning.
From windows to wardrobes, fireplaces to door knockers, Edwin
Heathcote attempts to fathom the elements of our everyday
domestic lives. He explores how, over time, ancient ritual elements
transmute into practical features, and how some of these, charged
with latent symbolic meaning, have persisted in modern dwellings
despite having lost their original uses. Home will never look quite
the same again.
Edwin Heathcote is the architecture correspondent for the Financial
Times. He is the author of Contemporary Church Architecture, London
Caffs and Furniture + Architecture. He lives in London.

A Dance with Jane Austen
How a Novelist and her Characters went to the Ball
Susannah Fullerton
Jane Austen loved to put on her satin slippers with shoeroses,
her white gloves and muslin gown, and head out for an
evening of fun at the Basingstoke assemblies. The Bennet girls
share their creator's delight and go off joyfully to dance, and of
course, to meet future husbands.
Drawing on contemporary accounts and illustrations, and a
close reading of the novels as well as Austen's correspondence,
Susannah Fullerton takes the reader through all the stages of
a Regency Ball as Jane Austen and her characters would have
known it.
Her subjects learn their steps, dress in readiness, choose
between public and private balls, worry over a shortage of men,
prefer a cotillion to a quadrille, find transport, talk and flirt with
their partners, sustain themselves with supper, fall in love and
then go home to talk it all over at the end.
Susannah Fullerton is President of the Jane Austen Society of
Australia and has lectured extensively around the world on Jane
Austen's life and novels. She is the author of Jane Austen and
Crime, a book described by Claire Tomalin as 'essential reading
for every Janeite'. She lives in Sydney, Australia.

Flower
Paintings by 40 Great Artists
Celia Fisher
This is a book about flowers and about painters. The author has chosen
40 of her favourite flower paintings and as she is both expert gardener
and art historian, she has all manner of fascinating things to say about
the flowers, the artists and the contexts of the paintings.
Manet's mysterious Still Life with Rose and Brioche records the
arrival of the new hybrid tea rose in all its perfection. Vanessa Bell's
Red Hot Pokers and Artichoke came in the wake of Roger Fry's Post-
Impressionist exhibitions in London and at a time when Bell had found
refuge and creative energy with Duncan Grant at Charleston.
The paintings are not always the most obvious - Van Gogh is here
represented by a ravishing branch of almond blossom. But Monet has
his waterlilies and Rennie Mackintosh his delicate fritillaries and there
is a feast of glorious Dutch bouquets.
There is old and new, known and unknown in this wonderful collection.
Each painting has been chosen both to delight the eye and to offer a
source of lively stories and intriguing facts.
Celia Fisher is both an art historian and a plantswoman. Her articles
have appeared in art and gardening journals, including Apollo, Country
Life and Hortus and she is the author of Flowers of the Renaissance
978-0-7112-3068-2, published by Frances Lincoln. She lives and gardens

What are Gardens For?
Visiting, Experiencing and Thinking about Gardens
Rory Stuart
What do we expect of gardens - when we make them and
when we visit them? Could we get more from them, if we
thought harder about what it is we want and why we make
gardens? This book approaches the experience of being in a
garden from many different angles, questioning many of our
easily-adopted assumptions and suggesting ways of getting
more from any garden, whether it is our own or one we are
visiting.
Rory Stuart is the has written articles for magazines including
Hortus, The Garden, The English Garden and The Historic
Gardens Review as well as the book Gardens of the World (978-
0-7112-3130-6) published by Frances Lincoln. He has led garden
tours of France, India and Italy and he now lives in Rome, where
he is learning how to grow plants in the challenging conditions
of the hills outside the city.

Annie Tempest
Tails of Tottering Hall brings to life the antics of black Labrador
Slobber and springer spaniel Scribble, along with assorted
canine friends. Slobber has a firm place in both Dicky's and
Daffy's affections and his relationship with each of them
reveals much about their individual idiosyncrasies as well
as their relationships with others. What shines through the
cartoons is the important role that dogs play in family life
and if you are a dog lover you will identify with much of what
occurs within these pages.

Pennine Way Companion - Second Edition
Alfred Wainwright
Revised by Chris Jesty
Preposterous Erections
A Book of English Towers
Peter Ashley
The Pennine Way – England’s first continuous long-distance path for walkers
– stretches for 268 miles from Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders along the
length of the Pennines. Inaugurated in 1965, it has become one of the most
popular long-distance footpaths in Britain. For those starting in the south,
it runs from Edale in Derbyshire through the old West and North Ridings of
Yorkshire, Westmorland, Cumberland, and Northumberland before reaching
its northern terminus at Kirk Yetholm, just over the Scottish border.
Wainwright’s handwritten guide to the route, with its magnificent detailed
maps and occasionally tongue-in-cheek text, was first published in 1968. This
new edition has been brilliantly revised and updated by Chris Jesty to meet
the goal Wainwright set for the original edition: ‘to enable walkers to follow
the Pennine Way without putting a foot wrong...’
Born in Blackburn in 1907, Alfred Wainwright left school at the age of 13. A
holiday at the age of 23 kindled a life-long love affair with the Lake District.
Following a move to Kendal in 1941 he began to devote every spare moment
he had to researching and compiling the original seven Pictorial Guides.
Shortly before he died in 1991, Wainwright said that if ever the Pictorial Guides
were to be revised, Chris Jesty should be given the job. Chris Jesty lives in
Kendal.

Preposterous Erections brings together 60 uniquely fascinating
towers from all corners of England.
From the parkland Brizlee Tower in Northumberland to the coastal
Doyden Castle in Cornwall, Peter Ashley tells us their stories
through his own very individual photographs and his witty and
irreverent commentary. Although there is an obvious core of
eighteenth and nineteenth-century landowner's eccentricities,
the more recent past is not forgotten, including the instantly
recognisable Post Office tower in London's Fitzrovia and the more
retiring Lewis's department store art deco tower in Leicester.
Monument or observatory, watch tower or water tower, these are
60 of the very best. Preposterous Erections will arouse the interest
of even the most casual observer.
Peter Ashley is the author and photographer of over 20 books.
He broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio 4. He lives in Slawston,
Leicestershire.

Great Houses of London
James Stourton
Photographs by Fritz von der Schulenburg
The great houses of London represent one of the
marvels of English architecture, disguised behind sober
facades hiding astonishing riches within.
This book ranges from the romantic 17th century
Ashburnham House, nestling in the shadow of
Westminster Abbey, through the splendid 18th century
aristocratic palaces of the West End, to the quirky arts
and crafts houses of Holland Park and Kensington, to the
cool modernist houses of Hampstead and the exuberant
post-modern interiors of the last 30 years.
Every house has its own story to tell. This might be the
colourful history of the occupants (such as the Duke
of Wellington entertaining ladies at Apsley House),
the great art collections they held (the Titians at
Bridgewater House or Sam Courtauld's Impressionist
paintings at Home House), or the architectural wonders
of William Kent's 44 Berkeley Square and Burges's Tower
House in Melbury Road. The book promises to be a great
revelation.
James Stourton is chairman for Southeby's UK. He writes
regularly for The Times, Daily Telegraph, Independent,
Spectator and Apollo.
Fritz Von Der Schulenburg has achieved international
acclaim with a photographic career spanning 35 years.

English Graphic
Tom Lubbock
Introduction by Jamie McKendrick
‘An endlessly lively and surprising book … a virtuoso display of variety in
essay technique’ - the Guardian on Great Works
Focusing on English artists using graphic media for illustration, English
Graphic draws on Tom Lubbock's journalism to present an electrical
storm of ideas and illustrations, provocatively argued by one of our
most brilliant writers on art.
The historical span of the book is broad – from the Uffington White
Horse to the Winchester Psalter Hellmouth to Harry Beck’s London
Underground Map and beyond. The high point of English Graphic
art in the late 18th and early 19th century makes up the heart of the
book, with Fuseli, Blake, Bewick and Palmer all the subject of extended
essays. The images range from the visionary to the empirical, from folk
art to caricature. Connecting and overlapping ideas on line and shape
run through the book; maps, islands, clouds, swarms, wombs, skins,
dots, contours and boundaries.
Tom Lubbock, critic and illustrator, was the chief art critic of the
Independent from 1997 until his death in 2011. He wrote widely on
art, books and radio and produced major catalogue essays on Goya,
Thomas Bewick and Ian Hamilton Finlay. His book Great Works was
published by Frances Lincoln in 2011.

The Edwardian Country House
A Social and Architectural History
Clive Aslet
The magnificent country houses built in Britain between
1890 and 1939 were the last monuments to a vanishing
age. In this book, originally published in 1980, long out of
print and now thoroughly revised and reillustrated, Clive
Aslet recounts the architectural and social history of the
era, describing the clients, the architects, the styles and
accoutrements of the country houses. This fascinating
world, so popularly depicted in Downton Abbey, can
now be viewed from a new perspective. The Edwardian
Country House will enlighten and entertain all those
interested in glimpsing the lost lifestyle of another age.
Clive Aslet is an award-winning writer and journalist. In
1977 he joined the magazine Country Life, where he is now
Editor at Large. He writes extensively for papers such as
The Times, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail and Sunday Times,
and often broadcasts on television and radio.

David Fathers
The Regent's Canal, the Limehouse Cut, the Hertford Union and
the Lee Navigation collectively cut a swathe through north and
east London. This 14 mile path, cycle and waterway is a journey

Headwaters
Walking to British River Sources
Phil Clayton
Headwaters visits the sources of more than 50 rivers in
Great Britain, from the longest and best known to some
of the shortest and most eccentric. Phil Clayton describes
a series of walks ranging from long treks over Scottish
mountains and through wilderness glens to afternoon
strolls in pastoral English parkland, moorland marches to
forest forays, with the occasional bit of urban exploration
thrown in. There is more variety of landscape and scenery
around our river sources than might at first be expected
and they all have a tale to tell. Three years in the making,
this comprehensively illustrated book also draws on a rich
range of literary sources to explore the geography, geology,
etymology, history and folklore of these fundamental
features of the British landscape, from Trent to Severn, Tay
to Piddle.
A former geography and history teacher, Phil Clayton
has walked up all of the hills and mountains over 2000
feet in England and Wales at least three times. He lives in
Wolverhampton.

In Search of Rex Whistler
His Life & His Work
Hugh & Mirabel Cecil
Rex Whistler (1905–1944) was one of the most intriguing
artists of the interwar years. His career lasted only from 1925
until his tragically early death in action in the Second World
War. But in those two decades he flourished as an artist in
many different fields – above all as the outstanding mural
painter of the period. His first success, achieved while he was
still a student at the Slade School of Art, was a mural for the
restaurant at the Tate Gallery in London. Later murals were
at Port Lympne in Kent, Dorneywood in Buckinghamshire,
Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire and – his masterpiece – Plas
Newydd on the Isle of Anglesey.
He was also an acclaimed portrait painter and he designed
sets for opera, the theatre and ballet, as well producing
illustrations and book jackets for over a hundred books, and
numerous advertisements.
Hugh and Mirabel Cecil present here a penetrating picture of
the man and of his work, both in private collections and on
public display, with much new photography.
Hugh and Mirabel Cecil are the authors of several
biographies and articles. They live in London.

A Year in the Life of Rutland
Derry Brabbs
This portrait of Rutland reveals the landscape,
architecture, fauna and flora of an unspoilt and
beguiling landlocked county throughout the
seasons. Rutland's motto, multum in parvo (much in
little) was certainly well chosen and its diminutive
borders encompass a slice of quintessential England.
Rutland's two towns, Oakham and Uppingham both
have internationally renowned public schools and
despite being the nation's smallest county, with
the creation of the reservoir of Rutland Water, it has
somehow also managed to accommodate one of
Europe's largest man-made lakes. In this beautiful
photographic essay Derry Brabbs has captured the
magic and beauty that makes Rutland so special to
so many.

Shetland
Malcolm MacGregor
Lying to the north of the Orkney Islands, out in the
North Atlantic, the Shetland Islands form a very
different landscape. Life here revolves around the
sea. The huge vertical cliffs of Fitful Head are a
marvel of harsh granite and a variety of seabirds.
These cliffs are just a sample of the steep and
unforgiving coastline that is the character of these
islands. This book is a celebration of the majestic
Shetland landscape.
Malcolm MacGregor lives in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

Herculaneum
Past and Future
Andrew Wallace Hadrill
TO MANY OF US, the great gardens of Italy seem like paradise on
earth. But how much do we know of their history, and the
people who created them?
In this ravishing book, illustrated with contemporary
paintings, drawings and prints as well as photographs of the
gardens today, Helena Attlee tells their story. She starts with
Petrarch – still looking to medieval chronicles for advice on
how and when to plant – and goes on to the Renaissance and
those first gardens to emerge from architects’ plans. Then she
describes the great gardens of the Medici; the first botanic
gardens; the weird Mannerist gardens and their grottoes
followed by the Baroque splendour of Isola Bella and the Villa
Aldobrandini; the Neoclassical and Picturesque gardens of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and how, in the
twentieth century, expatriates with money to lavish on their
villas and gardens brought new delights.
Helena Attlee has spent long periods in Italy and is steeped
in that country’s art and literature. She lectures widely on
Italian gardens, conducts garden tours in Italy and took part in
the National Geographic television series on The Great
Gardens of Italy. She contributes regularly to newspapers and
magazines including The Daily Telegraph, Country Life, World of
Interiors and House and Garden. She is the author of a number of
books including Italy’s Private Gardens and Great Gardens of
Britain. Alex Ramsay’s photographs have appeared in many
books on gardens and landscapes.
‘One of the best, if not the best to date... an essential
read for any garden lover.’
Hortus
‘Scholarly in its depth, it also holds the reader’s
attention with glimpses of wider Italian culture and the
colourful personalities involved.’
