(11/05/11) A History of the World in 100 Objects ... has been a triumph: hugely popular, and rightly lauded as one of the most effective and intellectually ambitious initiatives in the making of 'public history' for many decades. -- John Adamson Sunday Telegraph Highly intelligent, delightfully written and utterly absorbing -- Timothy Clifford Spectator Allen Lane has done Mr MacGregor proud... The objects have been beautifully photographed, Mr MacGregor's voice comes through distinctively and his arguments about the interconnectedness of disparate societies through the ages are all the stronger for the detail afforded by extra space. A book to savour and start over Economist This is a story book, vivid and witty, shining with insights, connections, shocks and delights -- Gillian Reynolds Daily Telegraph The style is authentic, personal and humorous. MacGregor could not have skewered our pretensions better...Look on our works, ye mighty, and despair -- Andrew Roberts Financial Times Brilliant,... See less

(10/14/11) The Big-Ass Book of Crafts is packed with ideas for sprucing up your living space; concocting fabulous, all-natural body products; designing your own unique stationery; and creating countless other crafts that will convince your friends and loved ones that you're the secret love child of Martha Stewart (only much, much cooler).

Divided into sections that include Outdoorsy (ideas to enhance your backyard), Dishing It Out (decorating plates using different techniques), You've Been Framed (innovative picture framing ideas), and Can I Have a Light?

(08/22/11) Harper Lee was born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. She attended the local schools and studied law at the University of Alabama. For some years she spent most of her time in New York City, where, until she began writing, she was employed in the reservations department of an international airline. "Aside from writing," says Miss Lee, "my chief interests in life are collecting memoirs of nineteenth-century clergymen, golf, crime and music." See less

(08/22/11) In 1905 Albert Einstein published the most famous equation of all time, E=mc?, and the universe was transformed overnight. But how many of us have even a clue what Einstein's theories of relativity actually mean, let alone about their significance for understanding the nature of space, time and the world in which we live? These are undoubtedly some of the most complex thoughts ever to emerge from the human mind and Einstein's inestimable genius extends to an ability to present his ideas cogently. Written expressly with the mathematically shy in mind - in the hope that it would dispel any mystery and provide 'a few happy hours of suggestive thought' - Relativity is a surprisingly accessible work. Published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Einstein's great achievement, it is the essential guide to one of the most fundamental discoveries of modern science. 192 Pages; Portrait frontispiece; Size 9½" x 5¼".

(07/22/11) Even seasoned reporters have admitted that "Clark Rockefeller" spooks them. For over thirty years, the man born in Germany as Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter has been reinventing himself with ever more elaborate ruses, eventually reemerging in New York City in the early nineties as a counterfeit Rockefeller heir.

(06/28/11) Game of Thrones: A New Original Series, Now on HBO: Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire. A Dance With Dragons: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Five In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

(04/14/11) SKU: x4778 Dear makers. Sweet crafters. Hello all you pastel-lovers with too many vintage lightbulbs and an obsession with screwdrivers. The fine folks at ReadyMade--perhaps the most Brooklyn of magazines being published in Iowa--have just held a contest to celebrate 100 ingenious and beautiful DIY projects submitted to their host of savvy judges. But as it happens, 100 great design projects is 75 design projects too many to fit into the pages of their beautiful monthly magazine. With that in mind Andrew Wagner, editor of ReadyMade, turned to us and our new Espresso Book Machine. What better way, he reasoned, and we agreed, to feature the work of these innovative designers than to print off copies, as needed, on what is essentially a boutique printing press. We're proud to offer this supplement to Readymade Magazine, the Readymade 100 Project Manual. Inside you'll find 100 snippets of DIY genius, from recipes to furniture to, yes, vintage light bulbs, every page printed and bound on... See less

(04/13/11) Given the abundance of titles on wood finishing published in 1993, librarians might be inclined to dismiss this one, which would be a definite mistake. Flexner, who has 20 years of finishing experience and has written for many woodworking magazines, assumes no experience in finishing wood. He provides comprehensive treatment of the various finishes, application techniques, chemical cautions, and reactions, convincingly overthrowing much of the conventional wisdom about finishing. His book gives readers a wood finishing consultant available whenever they need it for the price of an hour's time. Highly recommended. (Index not seen.)-- Alex Hartmann, Bloomsburg Univ. Lib., Pa. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. See less

(04/13/11) Amazon Best Books of the Month, April 2011: Tina Fey’s new book Bossypants is short, messy, and impossibly funny (an apt description of the comedian herself). From her humble roots growing up in Pennsylvania to her days doing amateur improv in Chicago to her early sketches on Saturday Night Live, Fey gives us a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain of modern comedy with equal doses of wit, candor, and self-deprecation. Some of the funniest chapters feature the differences between male and female comedy writers ("men urinate in cups"), her cruise ship honeymoon ("it’s very Poseidon Adventure"), and advice about breastfeeding ("I had an obligation to my child to pretend to try"). But the chaos of Fey’s life is best detailed when she’s dividing her efforts equally between rehearsing her Sarah Palin impression, trying to get Oprah to appear on 30 Rock, and planning her daughter’s Peter Pan-themed birthday. Bossypants gets to the heart of why Tina Fey remains universally adored: she... See less

(12/08/10) With scores of color photos showing in medias res finishing work and dozens of carefully composed illustrations showing angles, strokes and tools, this latest entry in Taunton’s guide series should give even the most amateur aspirant a shot at sophisticated wood finishing effects. Jewitt, a Cleveland-based refinisher who runs his own business, is the veteran of two previous books, Hand-Applied Finishes and Great Wood Finishes. Here, he uses his expertise to introduce would-be home finishers to everything from the right brushes and spray guns ("conventional" v. "HVLP," or High Volume Low Pressure), to the proper techniques for sanding molded edges by hand, to the difference between glazing and toning. The book is intelligently laid out: no page is ever too busy, but each spread contains enough information to take readers through a full step of a process so that they don’t have to drop whatever tools are in hand to flip a page. Well paced and comprehensive, Jewitt’s book is a valuable... See less
