The Age of Johnson: The Library of Loren and Frances Rothschild brings together the most comprehensive collection of rare books and autograph works in private hands of the 18th-century literary giant Samuel Johnson, together with extensive collections of the works of the other principal authors of the period long-known as the Age of Johnson— including James Boswell, Edmund Burke, Frances Burney, Oliver Goldsmith, Hester (Thrale) Piozzi, Alexander Pope, and Jonathan Swift.
An introduction to each of these authors provides information placing the author in his or her historical and literary context, and the descriptive entries for each of the over 900 individual manuscripts, letters, and rare books records bibliographical information, significant facts, and critical information about the work recorded.
The individual entries, when viewed in the aggregate, survey and illuminate the breadth and depth of the literary and intellectual canon of the authors of the Age of Johnson, illuminate their relationships and their works to one another. The text taken as a whole demonstrates why Samuel Johnson, as an individual and as an author, defined the era long named for him.
The Arts and Crafts Movement, founded in the philosophies of John Ruskin and William Morris, produced some of the world’s most enduring architectural masterpieces. Author and architect David Cole presents the 100 great Arts and Crafts houses, each individually described and analyzed with insightful detail and floor plans, and illustrated with stunning photography. Beginning with Morris’s own iconic Red House, the book traces the fifty-year span of the movement, with a short chapter dedicated to each of these extraordinary houses: from the works of the pioneer Arts and Crafts architects, to the great reformer architects of the next generation, to the craftsman architects who took their lives and their work to the countryside, to the movement’s Scottish architects, and finally to the houses of the Garden Cities and suburbs built through the movement’s last decade before the First World War. The book features the great houses of some forty of the movement’s most renowned architects, including Philip Webb, R. Norman Shaw, E.S. Prior, William Lethaby, C.F.A. Voysey, Edgar Wood, Ernest Gimson, the Barnsley brothers, C.R. Ashbee, M.H. Baillie Scott, Edwin Lutyens, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Robert Lorimer, Parker and Unwin, and many others.
As Morris famously said, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
Ukrainian poet Natalka Marynchak’s Antidespairant (Відчаєспинне) is a powerful expression of defiance and hope in the face of Russian aggression, written in Kharkiv during the first 365 days of Putin’s invasion – the latest phase of a conflict that has raged between the two countries for four centuries. Composed under fire, Antidespairant – a personal diary in poetic form – is at once a prayer for her own people, a curse on the enemy, and a panegyric to those struggling to defend their homeland. Complemented by Kostiantyn Zorkin’s arresting and evocative graphics, this is an unflinching account of hope preserved in the most challenging of circumstances.
Racines | Roots is a vibrant art book reflecting the unique vision of a passionate collector and entrepreneur. Garance Primat unveils a selection of works drawn from the heart of her aesthetic and spiritual journey. For her, art is a life-sustaining force: deep roots nourish our being and link us to nature, allowing us to flourish like a tree.
Born into a family responsive to nature and art, she has honed her eye through contact with different cultures during her travels, particularly in Australia and the United States, where she became aware of how everything in the realm of nature was interconnected. This quest inspired her to acquire the Domaine des Étangs in Charente Limousine.
With its ability to question the world and shape the future, contemporary art occupies a special place in her eclectic collection, interacting with modern art from around the world, minerals and wisdom-bearing objects. Garance Primat invites us to trust her sensibility as we explore the universal, where words struggle to grasp the interconnectedness of living things. An original message emerges from the “root” of things, awakening a shared consciousness. This book, built around the etymology of seven key words linked to nature and the universe, is an invitation to let ourselves be carried away by the senses and discover the invisible links that unite us.

Japan was isolated almost completely from the West for more than two hundred years, from 1641 to 1854. One of the first Westerners to penetrate that barrier and reveal fundamental information about the country – and the Far East in general – was Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866), a doctor from Würzburg in Germany. He spent the period 1823 to 1829 on the small island of Dejima, a Dutch trading post in Nagasaki that was then the only point of contact between Japan and the West. Full of ambition, Siebold was sent from the Dutch East Indies to Japan with the task of gathering as much information as possible about the country, its geography, its people, religion, customs and traditional costumes. The ultimate aim was to use this information to boost Dutch trade. Working with Japanese artists including Kawahara Keiga and Hokusai, Siebold embarked on an unprecedented visual and scientific project, culminating in the book Nippon. In this publication of Nippon, we give Siebold’s work a new lease of life that lets us understand the Japan he saw. This edition includes all the original prints, with a commentary on the most compelling images. The introduction discusses the unique relationship between Japan and the Netherlands, Siebold’s life, his work on Dejima and the historical significance of Nippon. The thematic essays and image keys point out striking details and interesting stories, all with a view to achieving once again what Siebold sought to do all those years ago: let readers marvel at the incredible beauty of Japan.

The most luxurious of Parisian gastronomic guides, the most exclusive. The most timeless: with the QR code accompanying each review, the book becomes eternal and is permanently updated. Albert Nahmias knows his business well (and that of others). A star restaurateur in the 90s with Olympe, the happy few flocked to his table. From the art of hosting, he moved to the other side of the counter to cultivate the art of being hosted, and now he delivers his judgments. Whether they are favorites or criticisms, it’s an elegant and incredibly useful book. Like a gourmet and travelling Ulysses returning to his Ithaca rich in sensory and gustatory images, Paris becomes an odyssey-city that constantly attracts poets and ambitious individuals… Its chefs are also poets. In Paris, the true gourmet is a traveler from elsewhere who comes to taste its charms; like Ulysses, one simply needs to choose a neighborhood, a welcoming restaurant according to their mood, age, or fortune… This guide gives meaning to daily urban wandering, in the labyrinth of over a thousand establishments. No one knows them all. So many dives, bistros, and restaurants for a people of Parisian navigators for whom it’s a bit of a secret sport. Less so now.

“Dafydd Jones’s photographs capture the future establishment at their most unguarded.”— FT How To Spend It
Cambridge Balls is the sensational new book by bestselling social photographer Dafydd Jones. The Cambridge University colleges are renowned for many great alumni and important achievements… and also a series of marathon all-night parties, known as the May Balls, held annually to celebrate the end of the academic year. Dafydd Jones, who according to The New York Times, ‘goes about his business with cheery zest and a wicked eye’, has been granted unique access to this hidden world of revelry since 1981, during which the author of England: The Last Hurrah and Hollywood Confidential has captured an extraordinary tableau of antics and shenanigans now beautifully reproduced on these pages. From former British Prime Minister David Cameron in his Bullingdon coat to victorious rowing teams celebrating into the night, from gate crashers punting across the river to the more international student groups of modern times toasting their successes, this is a fascinating portrait of jubilation among the young, the wealthy and the academic elites of one of the world’s most famous universities.

Gered Mankowitz is among the most important, prolific and hard-working photographers of the last century. Timed for release on the eve of his 80th birthday, Photographs is his most comprehensive book yet, encompassing 65 years of an illustrious career from 1960-2025, with classic, rare and never-before-seen imagery. Mankowitz made a name for himself in London’s burgeoning Swinging Sixties scene. A session with Marianne Faithfull led to him working with The Rolling Stones as their official photographer throughout the mid-60s, and he went on to capture music legends from Jimi Hendrix and The Yardbirds to Elton John and Kate Bush. Mankowitz never stopped growing as an artist, taking promotional shots of movie stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, creating prize-winning advertising imagery for clients from Heineken to British Rail, shooting emerging artists, and publishing numerous books of his work. With accompanying text from the photographer, a natural storyteller, Gered Mankowitz: Photographs reveals an artist in constant conversation with his medium, adapting his craft and remaining relevant in an ever-evolving industry.
Few marques command the same reverence as Ferrari — a symbol of Italian artistry, innovation, and unrelenting pursuit of excellence. Since Enzo Ferrari founded the brand in 1947, the Prancing Horse has stood not just for performance, but for a way of life defined by style, emotion, and craftsmanship. The Essence of Ferrari Unfolded celebrates this spirit in all its forms — from the sculpted curves of the 250 GTO and LaFerrari to the precision engineering that turns mechanical movement into poetry. Through breathtaking photography and insightful storytelling, the book explores the DNA of Ferrari: design, speed, sound, and the people who live for them. It delves into the creative worlds of designers, drivers, engineers, and dreamers, capturing how Ferrari continues to merge technology and beauty in perfect harmony. Beyond the racetrack, the book unfolds Ferrari’s cultural impact — from haute couture collaborations and architectural icons to its influence on film, art, and design.
Kipat—an anagram of the Turkish word ‘kitap’ (book)—was published on the occasion of Güçlü Öztekin’s exhibition Topsy-Turvy! Selpakla Gorili Bitirdim! at Dirimart Dolapdere (18 December 2017–21 January 2018). Gathering nearly all works produced between 2009 and 2017, the book offers the most extensive insight into the artist’s prolific practice. Much like Öztekin’s exhibitions and sketchbooks, Kipat resists explanation, placing the viewer in direct encounter with his fantastical imagery. Everyday objects and fleeting moments—a roll of toilet paper, a face, a glimmer of light—are transformed into scenes that recall cartoons, cinema, and dreamlike narratives.
Designed without hierarchy or fixed sequence, the book embodies Öztekin’s emphasis on simplicity, disorder, and openness. Each copy is uniquely ordered and numbered by the artist, inviting readers into a world where daily life and the imagination of his alter ego, kaplankadilak, collide. A dialogue on painting, process, and the ordinary accompanies this journey.

Golden Memories by Lee Shulman is a deeply poetic exploration of forgotten moments, uplifted through precious material transformation. For over eight years the artist has rescued anonymous color slides — snapshots of lives once lived — and, in this series, he prints them on sheets of gold leaf. The gold, with its sacred and eternal connotations, elevates ordinary domestic scenes, holiday poses and candid glances into the realm of memory’s shrine. On these fragile surfaces, light moves, image and gold merge, and the photograph becomes a meditation on impermanence and presence. The project invites us to stop before the ordinary, to bear witness to lives we do not know and yet somehow recognize. With this book, Shulman expands his ongoing mission to restore dignity to forgotten photographs and asks what it means to remember in an age of fading analog material. Golden Memories is at once elegy, tribute and icon — a quiet invitation to honor the visual traces of our collective past.

Everything has an origin—a point where it begins and takes shape. As an architect, designer, and photographer, Thomas Elliott describes how he visualizes architectural spaces through the imagined frame of a photograph, and the essential ideas that underscore his approach to design and give form to PAI’s architecture and interiors.
While the architecture itself is alive and dynamic, ever-changing with the light and the people who inhabit the space, the photographs in this collection capture only a moment in time and are testament to what Elliott, with PAI, envisioned.
Thomas Elliott: Origins showcases special moments of Elliott and PAI’s recent residential and workplace projects. Presented as an architectural photography book, this superb publication will appeal to architecture and design aficionados, photography enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the creation of beautiful buildings, spaces, objects, and images.

Red Flags is a visual field guide to modern behavior — part satire, part mirror, and part survival manual. Created by Belgian designer and visual storyteller Bart Kiggen, the book unpacks the characters, archetypes, and micro-cultures that shape our digital and emotional lives. From the Ghoster to the Apex Pretender, from the Brand Messiah to the Yuppie Mephistopheles, each red flag is drawn, described, and decoded with wit and precision. Blending staged photography, cultural critique, and design, Red Flags turns online performance into visual anthropology. It examines how attention became identity and how charisma, care, or confidence can all tip into manipulation.
Each portrait is both absurd and familiar, reminding us that the red flags we recognize in others often reflect our own. In this carefully composed and conceptually sharp book, Bart Kiggen uses imagery, humor, and typography to explore the psychology of the age of exposure. Red Flags invites readers to look closer, laugh more softly, and perhaps notice a few signals in themselves before it’s too late.
