Pimpernel Press Ltd New York: Places to Write Home About
Book SynopsisNew York is a town of more quartiers and arondissements than Paris, more souks and bazaars than Cairo, a place of havens from overwhelming energy and of studios where that energy is generated. Above all else, it is where everyone wants to make a mark. And for a lot of residents the biggest mark of all is the place they live in – no matter where that is in the infinite diversity of the astonishing tumbling ziggurat that is New York. This book looks at a cross-section of these thrilling spaces for living created by New Yorkers. Ranging from the great mansions of the Upper East Side to the Tribeca loft that provides a live-work space for the high-flying architects of MPA, from the glamour of Kenneth Lane’s Murray Hill apartment to Susan Sheehan’s Arts and Crafts haven in Union Square, from Hamish Bowles’s 'tiny Atlantis' in Greenwich Village to James Fenton’s fantasy palace in Harlem, from the ivory tower that is the Modulightor Building in Midtown Manhattan to Miranda Brooks's 'garden in the city' in Brooklyn, this is a visual and literary feast of the marvellous houses and apartments of New York. Trade Review"Our Book of the Week, New York: Places to Write Home About, features styles for every taste, from the totally bonkers to the restrained and elegant." * The Times *"Matching the flamboyant, elegant interiors is Devlin’s writing – disarmingly frank about her subjects, the book makes for a very funny and absorbing read. It’s a coffee table book that you’ll buy for others, but want to keep yourself." * A Little Bird *"The text is dense and thick with adjectives, but informative, and studded with loads of juicy quotes...the erudite Ms Devlin is an entertaining tour guide. If you're the kind of design geek who cherishes her Decoration of Houses and Authentic Decor, you'll want to own this book." * World of Interiors *"Outstandingly rare and precious." -- Ian Sansom * Guardian *

Lars Muller Publishers Saliba
Book SynopsisHanna Saliba's restaurant Saliba in Hamburg, which serves Syrian cuisine, is renowned far beyond the city's borders for its magical culinary experiences. Some of the restaurant's guests -Hans Hansen from Hamburg, the Munich designer Pierre Mendell, and the publisher of this volume - developed the concept for this book together with Saliba as an expression of their enthusiasm for Arab cuisine, particularly for the diversity and sophistication of its incomparable hors d'oeuvres called Mazza. Arabic calligraphy complements the feast for the eyes and makes the book much more than a collection of recipes for amateur cooks and professional chefs.

Mondadori Electa Sophie the Parisian: Style Tips From a True
Book SynopsisThe Parisian woman is considered a female role model by definition: classical in taste, but independent and dynamic; elegant and sophisticated at times, feminine and seductive, but not vulgar; attentive to what she wears and taking care of her body, but without excessive vanity; and who has sophisticated and original but simple taste. Food lover and partygoer, she focuses on the quality of food rather than on her shape. Fond of natural beauty, and without plastic surgery, she doesn t try to hide the signs of aging, which she wears with pride. Sophie the Parisian doesn t take herself too seriously and uses a well-balanced mix of charm, great taste, and irony three typical traits of the modern Frenchwoman to cover topics ranging from fashion to the well-being of the body, from looks to health, from cooking to decoration: everything that makes the French joie de vivre a role-model lifestyle worldwide.Trade Review"Nathalie Peigney shares it all in Sophie the Parisian: Style Tips From a True Parisian Woman, an appealing, pocket-size guide to French style and glamour. An offshoot of Peigney’s highly successful and popular blog of the same title which highlights nine of her friends who discuss Ville Lumière and Parisian life, “Sophie The Parisian” delves into the psyche of not just the Parisian woman but also the French capital." —Fashionwindows.com

New Heroes & Pioneers SHARE Lagom: Pocket Editions
Book SynopsisLagom is a uniquely Swedish term that doesn't have an English equivalent (Which I find to be pretty common, the Swedish language has denser words that the English language usually uses two or three words to describe.) Not only does it not translate perfectly but its just a very Swedish idea, or feeling. A popular etymological translation is "around the team" meaning enough food or drink for everyone at the table, this translation is said to go back to Viking times. Lagom is "Just enough," "Not too much or too little," "Just right," "Enough to go around," "Fair share." It indicates balance. Lagom doesn't have the negative connotation of "sufficient" nor does it claim perfection SHARE LAGOM contains 50 inspired artworks carefully selected amongst the best up-and-coming first time published artists. Following the success of SHARE Vol. 1 &2 this third installment combines the winning concept of high quality prints on perforated pages with the trendy theme of Lagom. Each featured artist presents a single piece of work along with companion text in a two page format. The specially designed LAGOM size book is optimized for its intended purpose: every page's perforation encourages readers to pull them as individual works of art. 1 A chance to offer an elegant, modern volume which transforms the pages into high quality art prints ready for hanging. 2 An original way to experience and share the culture and art of Scandinavia, the main inspiration of Lagom, within and beyond the borders of publishing. 3 The first of the SHARE series as a special edition. Half price, smaller, more flexible, but keep the high quality of the content and the paper. 4 Lagom is the new Hugge.

Written and illustrated by fellow introvert Elizabeth Gray (@thegraytergood), it's filled with musings about the cosy, creative adventures to be had in the great indoors.

The book also features unique bonus items to enhance your indoor fun, including a window suncatcher cling, drink coasters, a bookmark and nail art stickers all designed by the author.Trade ReviewIn addition to embracing the homebody lifestyle, the book acts as a manifesto of mindfulness. It issues calls to rest and relish quiet moments spent with a good book, or in the adult equivalent of a blanket fort. It’s as much about connection to one’s self, reflection on priorities, and engaging in activities that bring one joy as it is about the location where those things happen. Its cozy hodgepodge of advice, encouragement, and reflection space complement its overall tone. --Sarah White, Foreword Reviews
