As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

Pallas Athene Publishers Aubrey Beardsley: A Biography
Book SynopsisWhen Aubrey Beardsley died in 1898, he was aged only 25. In his short but crowded career he had become one of the defining figures of the fin-de-siècle, a precocious draughtsman who redefined the limits of black-and-white art. His erotic, decadent illustrations for Oscar Wilde's Salome set the tone for his style: by turns shocking, facetious and cruel. Beloved by Burne-Jones, cursed by William Morris, he was the intimate of Wilde, the rival of Whistler, the friend of Beerbohm, Sickert, Ada Leverson and William Rothenstein. His deliberate manipulation of press and public, his awareness of both art and the market-place, made him one of the first truly modern artists.Trade Review'Thoroughly researched, balanced ... evenly paced ... Sturgis writes with a poise and knowledge of the 1890s that inspire the reader with confidence.' Richard Dorment, Times Literary Supplement 'It is Sturgis's accomplishment to have created a fascinating narrative from a life which was short, feverish (in every sense) and packed with artistic achievement.' Michael Arditti, Daily Mail 'Immensely well-researched and sensitively written ... His is now the full biography of Beardsley that the general reader needs and will most enjoy.' Tom Rosenthal, Times Higher Educational Supplement.

Oro Editions Continuum
Book SynopsisMany graphic design books are currently available, but none that juxtaposes poetics and the visual language of graphic design so cohesively. Continuum challenges designers to leave their comfort zone to become part poet thereby having the potential to meld two communities into one. We project as our society is more digitised, any product released to it has more potential to transform itself into digital noise rendering the product itself ineffective. Effectiveness is the key and printed material is hands down more effective. If spacetime is right, any work can permeate though the consciousness of society.

Schiffer Publishing Ltd VHS Video Cover Art
Book SynopsisContains over 240 full-scale, complete video sleeves in the genres of action, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, and thriller films.Trade Review"We all know the power of good sleeve art. Very often its the first thing that tells you whether or not a film is worth giving a look; sometimes, it turns out to be considerably better than the film itself. But in these days of flagrant, unimaginative photoshopping, its a part of the film fan experience that has long been threatening to die out. Happily, many up-and-coming indie filmmakers, and a select few DVD/Blu-Ray labels notably the likes of Arrow and Scream Factory have been doing their bit to keep the spirit of the video shop alive with their original hand-painted cover art, and in that field one particular name always stands out: Tom Hodge, AKA The Dude Designs, whose lurid, expertly rendered visions have helped sell many a recent indie horror hit: Hobo With A Shotgun, Dear God No, Fathers Day, Almost Human, Wolfcop the list goes on. (And, in-keeping with the days of old, I would say in quite a few instances his cover art is indubitably better than the film its selling.) What better man to serve as our guide on a look back through the era that inspired his work? Thats just what were promised in VHS: Video Cover Art, the upcoming hardcover art book from Schiffer Publishing. Due to hit shelves in May, the fine folks at Schiffer have given us a sneak peek at the book including, as you might have gathered, the images you see in this article..." Ben Bussey, brutalashell.com Feb 2015 -"This is a weighty tome, but is a great conversation starter that should be left on your coffee table. Ah, the good old days........." - Starburst magazine, June 2015The Guardian carried a full-page feature about this title, headlined 'Can I get a rewind! The lost art of the VHS cover'. "They were loud and brash and full of ripped men, busty women and guns. But was there more to video covers? Chris Campion celebrates the heroes and villains of this lost art.""From the gaudy to the tawdry, the overblown to the downright tacky, this book has it all... Move geeks over 30 will flip for this." - ImagineFX Sept 2015"Last year we reviewed the first volume of this series here, and what glorious things we saw in those pages. Author Matthew Chojnacki has come back again with a second helping of varied artists interpretations of some very well know, and a few lesser known films. We could pretty much cut and paste the review from last time here. Its all great stuff. The pictures do the talking, a few words direct you to the artists and their websites (although over time these may change as we discovered when looking up artists from the first volume but then thats where google search comes in handy!). Youll be hard pressed to find another series that is this much fun to look at." - Filmwerk.co.uk Feb 2016

Thames & Hudson Ltd Walter Crane
Book SynopsisJenny Uglow narrates the story of Walter Crane, an intriguing and most prolific figure not only in illustration, but in political culture more broadly. Uglow expertly weaves a fascinating study of how Crane's art and politics developed from his childhood love of Pre-Raphaelite painting to the influences of Morris and William Blake on the journals, books, banners, pamphlets and postcards he went on to create as he forged a new style for the international socialist movement. Comprising a staggering range of visual material, Crane's images became a symbolic code that leapt over linguistic boundaries. This book is a brilliant record of an artist who blended styles and influences like no one before him.

Taschen GmbH Dian Hanson’s: The History of Men’s Magazines.
Book SynopsisIn the late 1960s specialty bookstores selling magazines under the counter were replaced by sex shops, or “adult bookstores” in the U.S., at which point every subject, with few exceptions, was freely available. It started with Swedish Private and its shockingly explicit covers. Denmark’s Theander brothers countered with Rodox and Color Climax, with equally explicit content. Soon they were supplying most of Northern Europe, with the Netherlands pitching in. In the U.S. Reuben Sturman was hailed King of Porn, with affiliates churning out hardcore of every kind to fill his 800 bookstores. Suddenly men used to taking what was offered could be picky. Lesbian dominance? Hot housewives? Black and Asian women? Hippie nudists espousing free love and drug use? Hairy women? Shaved women? Shaved women giving hairy women enemas? It was all there. For the kinky, every fetish was represented: spanking titles Zap and Smack cuddled up to dominance titles Bitch and Aggressive Gals, and to Wet Dreams, Diapered and Dominated and Enema Pick ups. For rubberists there was quirky Atomage, and even quirkier Belly Button. Yes, Belly Button. Are you familiar with the name Edw. Wood, Jr., called the world’s worst film director? Then you’ll enjoy his little-known porn magazines, including Balling, Skin & Bones and Party Time. What a decade. Warning: everything in this volume is uncensored and for mature adults only. The photos do not represent the majority. Volume 6 features over 600 covers and photos from Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the U.S. with the usual, amusing text.Trade Review“…approaches men’s magazines with a historical lens and also tracks the wider societal changes alongside their evolution.” * creativereview.co.uk *“[An] impressive six-volume collection…” * monocle.com *

This tightly curated collection of covers chosen includes works with significant cultural impact as well as collaborations that themselves created cultural fascination.The eclectic roster of visual artist-musician collaborations presented spans art and musical genres as well as generations, including Ryan McGinley for Sigur Rós, Kara Walker for Arto Lindsay, Peter Saville for Joy Division, Barbara Kruger for Growing Up Skipper, Jeff Koons for Lady Gaga, Tauba Auerbach for Glasser, and Stanley Donwood for Radiohead, to name a few. From postmodernist paintings and minimalism to collage and photography, as well as New WavTrade Review"Art Sleeves explores some of the most influential, groundbreaking and controversial covers from the past forty years. 'This is not a 'history of album art' type book, said the book's author, DJ and arts writer DB Burkeman over email. Instead, he says the book is a 'love letter' to visual art and music culture." —CNN"Yes, don’t judge a book by its cover. But do judge an album. This book celebrates the best album covers created by artists, and reads like a guide to the most infamous artistic collaborations, from Peter Saville for Joy Division to Jeff Koons for Lady Gaga." —HYPEBEAST.COM"Art Sleeves: Album Covers by Artists sidesteps redundancy by eschewing covers of ancient classics for albums mostly released over the past three decades and showcasing covers solely for their intrinsic art value rather than the music contained inside. Not that there aren’t some classics included: editor DB Burkeman included such well-known items as The Pixies’ Doolittle, The Breeders’ Pod, New Order’s Power, Corruption, & Lies, and Radiohead’s Amnesiac. But Art Sleeves is unique because its visual artists are often more familiar than its musical ones." —PSYCHOBABBLE.COM"A time capsule of visual art and music culture, Art Sleeves: Album Covers by Artists showcases some of the most important record covers designed by visual artists and graphic designers in the past forty years.

Based on decades of exploring the backcountry of the Golden State, artist-adventurer Obi Kaufmann blends science and art to illuminate the multifaceted array of living, connected systems like no book has done before. Kaufmann depicts layer after layer of the natural world, delighting in the grand scale and details alike. The effect is staggeringly beautiful: presented alongside California divvied into its fifty-eight counties, for example, we consider California made up of dancing tectonic plates, of watersheds, of wildflower gardens. Maps are enhanced by spirited illustrations of wildlife, keys that explain natural phenomena, and a clear-sighted but reverential text. Full of character and color, a bit larger than life, The California Field Atlas is the ultimate road trip companion and love letter to a place.Trade Review#1 San Francisco Chronicle Best SellerWinner, 2018 California Book Award Gold Medal (Notable Contribution to Publishing)Winner, 2018 NCIBA Book of the Year Award (Regional Interest)Finalist, 2018 Northern California Book Awards"Every California household should have a copy of the 608-page atlas. … Start with Kaufmann’s introduction, because it encapsulates the author’s relationship with the landscape he so dearly loves. From there, read it frontward, backward or according to whatever topic piques an interest." —San Jose Mercury News"A gorgeously illustrated compendium." —Sunset"If you're looking for freeways or pathways, expressways or BART lines, this book can't help you.
