Book SynopsisThe Washington Post "10 Best Graphic Novels of the Year"New York magazine "The Year's Most Giftable Coffee-Table Books"Newsday "Best Fall Books"The Verge "10 Best Comics of the Year"Oklahoman "Best Graphic Novels of the Year"Winner of the New York City Book AwardFrom the #1 NYT bestselling author of Can''t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, Roz Chast, an "absolutely laugh-out-loud hysterical" (AP) illustrated ode/guide/thank-you to Manhattan.New Yorker cartoonist and NYT bestselling author Roz Chast, native Brooklynite-turned-suburban commuter deemed the quintessential New Yorker, has always been intensely alive to the glorious spectacle that is Manhattan--the daily clash of sidewalk racers and dawdlers, the fascinating range of dress codes, and the priceless, nutty outbursts of souls from all walks of life. For Chast, adjusting to life outside the city was surreal (you can own trees!? you have to drive!?), but she recognized that the reverse was true for her kids. On trips into town, they would marvel at the strange visual world of Manhattan--its blackened sidewalk gum wads, "those West Side Storythings" (fire escapes)--its crazily honeycombed systems and grids. Told through Chast''s singularly zany, laugh-out-loud, touching, and true cartoons, Going into Town is part New York stories (the "overheard and overseen" of the island borough), part personal and practical guide to walking, talking, renting, and venting--an irresistible, one-of-a-kind love letter to the city.

Book SynopsisImaginative and stylish, this Wes Anderson-inspired book is a must-have for car enthusiasts (Knightsbridge, Autumn 2024)An ideal purchase for any car lovers in your life Amateur Photographerthe perfect gift for car fanatics Elle DecorationCar industry make Mr Francois head of concept immediately Strong WordsMr Francois' turns wild ideas into extraordinary images Classic & Sports Car MagazineFunny, imaginative, and good-looking: this little book with its Wes Anderson vibe is perfect for car enthusiasts or anyone who's intrigued by AI-creation New DesignWhat if the world''s leading car manufacturers had secretly started building totally surprising models? With the help of artificial intelligence, Mr. François (François Mercier) set out on a fun and creative journey to find answers to this question. The Brussels-based film director and photographer trained himself to become a promptographer': someone who creates images with the help of artificial intelligence, starting from a prompt, which is a number of words describing the image. So the images of cars in this book aren't photographs in the true sense, because they don't show reality. They do, however, look very realistic, showing cars that don't exist but could perfectly have existed. Or maybe even should have. What if, for example, Ferrari had made a camper van? Or what if Lamborghini had built a school bus? Or what if you could drive a luxurious six-seater limousine that's a Mini? This book shows us what these outside-the-box car creations would look like in astonishing realistic-looking and aesthetic photos. Funny, imaginative, and good-looking: this little book is the perfect gift for car enthusiasts or anyone who's intrigued by AI-creations.

Book SynopsisThis book releases one of the best-kept secrets of the sports car world - the BMW Z3, the latest generation of the traditional small sports car, with the advantages of being based on a tried and tested model range produced by a manufacturer of high quality cars with enviable service and spares support.Designed in Bavaria, styled in California, and built in South Carolina, the Z3 caused generations of motoring writers to dismiss it as a toy sports car, fit only for 'Estate agents, hairdressers and footballers wives,' but is it really so bad?As the Z3 becomes a modern classic, potential buyers have little information to help them sort out the best cars from the others, most Z3 books being a combination of history and data. This guide shows what to expect and what to look for, written against a background of prolonged ownership and Z3 knowledge.Containing a wealth of Z3 information, practical inspection and driving evaluation hints, this book will help potential buyers through the process of finding the car they want, whether it is to be a summer runner or a car to keep and cherish.Trade ReviewVeloce's extended range of Essential Buyer's Guides now includes the affordable BMW Z3 roadster. With the Z3s now selling for below GBP1000, this book can ensure that you really do get to enjoy the bargain roadster experience with reduced risk of nasty surprises.- Richard Kilpatrick- Classic Car Weekly. The first few pages look at the Z3 in general: whether it is the right car for your needs, how expensive the parts and servicing are, what you need to know about the different models, etc. Once you decide a Z3 might fit your bill, the book offers a fairly comprehensive 15-minute evaluation (Walk Away or Stay), followed by the meat of the guide, which is a 10-page section entitled 'Serious Evaluation' that includes a road test. It is a very practical list of items to consider, with a marking system for each to help keep your assessment an objective one. It could be useful for sellers, too, to give them an idea of what potential buyers will be checking out. – New Zealand Classic Car.Table of ContentsIntroduction & ForewordContents1.Is a BMW Z3 right for you? 2.Cost considerations 3.Living with a BMW Z3 4.Relative values 5.Before you view 6.Inspection equipment 7.Fifteen minute evaluation 8.Key points 9.Serious evaluation 10.Auctions 11.Paperwork 12.What's it worth? 13.Potential problems 14.Lack of use problems 15.The BMW Z3 community 16.Vital statistics Index

Book SynopsisThis guidebook describes the Snowdonia Way in Wales, a long-distance route through Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park from Machynlleth to Conwy. A low-level route of 97 miles (in 6 stages of between 13 and 21 miles) passes through the heart of Eryri's stunning mountain scenery and includes Pass of Aberglaslyn, Ogwen Valley and Aber Falls. It is suitable for walkers of average fitness and stamina, though the day stages are long. An alternative mountain route covers 122 miles in 9 stages of 12-18 miles, giving a spectacular journey over the most famous peaks such as Cadair Idris, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the Glyders. The high-level route is more physically challenging and requires good navigation skills. Full route descriptions for each stage are accompanied by OS maps and profiles. The guide also includes lists of accommodation and transport providers and a table of facilities to help with itinerary planning. Background notes on Eryri's geology, wildlife and history and extra information about features encountered along the way will help you discover more about this ancient and beautiful land.Table of ContentsCONTENTS Map key Transport map Overview map Route summary table Introduction The Snowdonia Way Landscape Plants and wildlife Geology History Understanding Welsh When to go Getting there Accommodation Planning your itinerary Route difficulty What to take Maps and GPS Safety Using this guide The Snowdonia Way Stage 1 Machynlleth to Dolgellau Stage 1A Machynlleth to Abergynolwyn (mountain route) Stage 1B Abergynolwyn to Dolgellau (mountain route) Stage 2 Dolgellau to Trawsfynydd Stage 2A Dolgellau to Trawsfynydd (mountain route) Stage 3 Trawsfynydd to Beddgelert Stage 3A Trawsfynydd to Penrhyndeudraeth (mountain route) Stage 3B Penrhyndeudraeth to Beddgelert (mountain route) Stage 4 Beddgelert to Dolwyddelan Stage 4A Beddgelert to Pen-y-Pass (mountain route) Stage 4B Pen-y-Pass to Capel Curig (mountain route) Stage 5 Dolwyddelan to Bethesda Stage 5A Capel Curig to Bethesda (mountain route) Stage 6 Bethesda to Conwy Stage 6A Bethesda to Conwy (mountain route) Appendix A Accommodation Appendix B Facilities tables Appendix C Useful contacts Appendix D Further reading
