93 til: A Photographic Journey Through Skateboarding in the 1990s
With this year’s 2021 Summer Olympics hosted in Tokyo, Japan, skateboarding will make its Olympic debut; augmenting both park and street competitions for men and women. As this book is a culmination and photographic collection of the past three decade’s growth of skateboarding throughout the US focusing in on the pivotal decade of the 1990s, the addition of this sport in the summer’s upcoming games is of considerable relevance to the skateboarding pioneers featured in this work.
To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in ’93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a rare luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovative style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the ’90s were the golden years of skateboarding.
’93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for ’93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before. The 230-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late ’80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists.
Also included in the book alongside Pete’s imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others. Although still a working photographer, Pete moved on from his career in skate photography in 2004 and is currently living in Brooklyn.

The Woman in the Wood
Fifteen-year-old twins Maisy and Duncan Mitcham have always had each other. Until the fateful day in the wood . . .
One night in 1960, the twins awake to find their father pulling their screaming mother from the house. She is to be committed to an asylum.
It is, so their father insists, for her own good. It's not long before they, too, are removed from their London home and sent to Nightingales - a large house deep in the New Forest countryside - to be watched over by their cold-hearted grandmother, Mrs Mitcham. Though they feel abandoned and unloved, at least here they have something they never had before - freedom.
The twins are left to their own devices, to explore, find new friends and first romances. That is until the day that Duncan doesn't come back for dinner. Nor does he return the next day.
Or the one after that. When the bodies of other young boys are discovered in the surrounding area the police appear to give up hope of finding Duncan alive. With Mrs Mitcham showing little interest in her grandson's disappearance, it is up to Maisy to discover the truth.
And she knows just where to start. The woman who lives alone in the wood about whom so many rumours abound. A woman named Grace Deville.
The Woman in the Wood is a powerful, passionate and sinister tale of a young woman's courage, friendship and determination from one of the world's favourite storytellers.Praise for Lesley Pearse'Heart-warming and evocative, a real delight to read' Sun'A narrative that gallops along, this is quintessential Pearse that will delight her army of readers' Daily Mail 'Glorious, heartwarming' Woman & Home'Evocative, compelling, told from the heart' Sunday Express

The Nowhere Girls - A Senkise-lányok
„– Mi lenne, ha nem a saját nevünkben írnánk? – kérdezi.
– Hanem senkiében? Vagy mindenkiében? – teszi hozzá rövid hallgatás után."
Hogy kik a Senkise-lányok?
Akárkik lehetnének. De kezdetben csak hárman vannak:
Grace Salter nemrég érkezett a városba, mert a családját elűzték az otthonából, miután prédikátor anyja egy lovasbalesetet követően radikálisan megváltoztatta a nézeteit.
Rosina Suarez, a fura punk lány, konzervatív mexikói bevándorló család sarja, aki szívesebben választaná a zenei karriert ahelyett, hogy az unokatestvéreit pátyolgatja és a nagybátyja éttermében pincérnősködik.
Az aspergeres Erin Delillo kizárólag két dologért lelkesedik: a tengerbiológiáért és a Star Trek: Az új nemzedékért, ám még ezek sem képesek megingatni abban a hitében, hogy ő tulajdonképpen android.
Amikor Grace megtudja, hogy Lucy Moynihan, az új otthona előző lakója azért menekült el a városból, mert csoportos nemi erőszakkal vádolta meg a suli legmenőbb arcait, felbőszíti a helyzet igazságtalansága. Személyes okokból Rosinát és Erint is mélyen érinti Lucy tragédiája, ezért a három lány anonim csoportot hoz létre a prescotti gimiben, hogy fellépjen az iskolában uralkodó szexista felfogás ellen.
Ez a változatos nézőpontokból előadott, úttörő szemléletű regény vádirat a nemi erőszak kultúrája ellen, és merész őszinteséggel boncolgatja a tinilányok szexualitását érintő kényes kérdéseket.
Tudd meg, mi fáj, és légy felvértezve!

The Bigger Book of Breasts
While the original Big Book of Breasts was an overview of busty models of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, The Bigger Book of Breasts profiles the top models in encyclopedic form, with personal information and all-new photos, as well as the top models of today. Stars include Virginia Bell, Roberta Pedon, Hitomi Tanaka, Luna Amor, Nadine Jansen, and more.
New and Bigger Busty Beauties
An encyclopedic guide to the biggest-breasted stars past and present
The Big Book of Breasts was an immediate best seller when it debuted in 2006. Its 396 pages introduced readers to the top naturally bountiful nude models of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, amazingly mammiferous beauties including Virginia Bell, Roberta Pedon, Mary Waters, Keli Stewart and many more. The one and only complaint was that there was no biographical information on these curvaceous cuties, no lists of their magazines and films to give readers a more intimate connection.
We listened, and The Bigger Book of Breasts answers! Not only are there more pages with all new photos of your favorite big breast models of the ’50s through ’70s, there are also personal profiles for each and every one. Which model married comedian Richard Pryor? Who inspired Russ Meyer’s first film? Where are those free Mary Waters loops? And yes, Roberta Pedon is alive and well!
Further updating the “Bigger” theme, we added the 12 most incredible, natural, and provocative breast models of today, gathered from across the world by Berlin-based photographer, Bernd Daktari Lorenz. Nadine Jansen, Luna Amor, Miosotis Claribel and the incredible Hitomi Tanaka prove breasts are bigger than ever, and bigger is beautiful, for both breasts and books. Wrap it up with stunning photos of our original cover girl Kelly Madison and The Bigger Book of Breasts is a bigger treat for all.
