The Book That Wouldn't Burn
All books, no matter their binding, will fall to dust. The stories they carry may last longer. They might outlive the paper, the library, even the language in which they were first written.
The greatest story can reach the stars...
This is the start of an incredible new journey from the internationally bestselling author of Prince of Thorns, in which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned…
Evar has lived his whole life trapped within a vast library, older than empires and larger than cities.
Livira has spent hers in a tiny settlement out on the Dust where nightmares stalk and no one goes.
The world has never noticed them.
That’s about to change.
As their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time, each will unlock vast secrets about the world and themselves. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another.

OWC Thirty-Nine Steps
John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was seriously ill at the beginning of the First World War. In it he introduces his most famous hero, Richard Hannay, who, despite claiming to be an `ordinary fellow', is caught up in the dramatic race
against a plot to devastate the British war effort. Hannay is hunted across the Scottish moors by police and spy-ring alike, and must outwit his intelligent and pitiless enemy in the corridors of Whitehall and, finally, at the site of the mysterious
thirty-nine steps. The best-known of Buchan's thrillers, The Thirty-Nine Steps has been continuously in print since first publication and has been filmed three times, most notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935. In this, the only critical edition, Chris
topher Harvie's introduction interweaves the writing of the tale with the equally fascinating story of how John Buchan, publisher and lawyer, came in from the cold and, via The Thirty-Nine Steps, ended the war as spy-master and propaganda chief.

OWC In a Glass Darkly
`the ideal reading...for the hours after midnight' Thus Henry James described the style of supernatural tale of which Sheridan Le Fanu was a master. Known in nineteenth-century Dublin as `The Invisible Prince' because of his reclusive and nocturnal h
abits, Le Fanu was fascinated by the occult. His writings draw on the Gothic tradition, elements of Irish folklore, and even on the social and political anxieties of his Anglo-Irish contemporaries. In exploring sometimes inexplicable terrors, the tal
es focus on the unease of the haunted men and women who encounter the supernatural, rather than on the origin or purpose of the visitant. This makes for spine-chilling reading. The five stories presented here have been collected by Dr Hesselius, a `m
etaphysical' doctor, the forerunner of the modern psychiatrist, who is willing to consider the ghosts both as real and as hallucinatory obsessions. The reader's doubtful anxiety mimics that of the protagonist, and each story thus creates that atmosph
ere of mystery which is the supernatural experience.

Andy Warhol "Giant" Size, Large Format
Tracing Warhol's origins as the sickly child of Ruthenian immigrants in working-class Pittsburgh to his transformation into New York's dark prince of Pop and finally into the world's most successful 'business artist', "Andy Warhol "Giant" Size" provides an appropriately larger-than-life look at the celebrated artist's career. Cultural critic Dave Hickey provides a compelling essay on Warhol's geek-to-guru evolution while chapter openers by Warhol friends and insiders give special insight into the way the enigmatic artist led his life and made his art. More than 2,000 illustrations culled from rarely seen archival material, documentary photography, and artwork not only provide a full picture of the artist's life but a telling look at late twentieth-century popular culture. Warhol's little-explored early career as a successful commercial illustrator and designer, his importance as a co-creator of the Pop movement, his midcareer switch to filmmaker and manager of the Velvet Underground, his founding of Interview magazine, and his bid for the hearts and pocketbooks of the high-flying glitterati are shown throughout this stunning new volume.

Bible
A major new edition of the King James Bible-faithfully presented for the twenty-first century Although it is the most important book in the religious life and culture of the English-speaking world, the King James Bible, or Authorized Version of 1611, has never been perfectly represented in print. This edition makes available the translators' intended work with a fidelity never before achieved-allowing the most read, heard, and loved book in the English language to speak with new vigor to modern readers. The work we have long read as the King James Bible contains numerous changes, both deliberate and accidental, to the text. David Norton has scrupulously collated the established text with the translators' original manuscripts to create this new authoritative edition. In addition, he has modernized and standardized the spelling but left intact the words and grammatical forms, and he has restored most of the original punctuation, which, unlike the standard version, largely adheres to modern practices. Finally, he presents the text in paragraph format, making this King James Bible a fully comprehensible and gratifying read.

Contains a new translation of Initial D Vol. 1-2.
Takumi Fujiwara spends a lot of time behind the wheel. His tofu delivery job sends him racing down the treacherous roads of Mount Akina, and without even realizing it, Takumi has mastered racing techniques that take most drivers a lifetime to learn. Of course, none of his friends realize this. They're all too busy watching the Akina Speed Stars, the local street racing team. When the legendary Red Suns show up to challenge the Speed Stars, the rival team obsesses over a phantom car, the Trueno Eight-Six, seen racing through the mountain roads. Who is the driver, and will they take on the dangerous challenge?
This edition is still running in the '90s but features a refreshed translation and lettering for the 2020s, as well as a special large size.

Bowie at 75
A unique and beautifully produced celebration of the iconic and beloved rock star, Bowie at 75 features a slipcased hardcover with a gatefold timeline, gatefold artwork, frameable pull-out gig poster, and a pull-out photo print!
Hendrix, Joplin, Mercury...few rock artists garner as much adulation after passing as they did in life. In Bowie at 75, veteran rock journalist Martin Popoff examines David Bowie's extraordinary life through the lens of 75 significant career achievements and life events, guiding you through all 27 studio albums, as well as a curated selection of earworm singles. But Popoff delves deeper to reveal the events that helped chart the course of Bowie's career:
Guest appearances with artists like Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Tina Turner, and Queen Key performances such as Live Aid Collaborations with an incredible roster of guitarists that included Mick Ronson, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nile Rodgers, and Earl Slick Film and television roles Romance...and more.
From his eponymous 1967 debut LP and ending with Blackstar, released just two days before his death, Bowie is regarded as one of the most influential musicians and performers of the previous five decades, during which he constantly redefined himself. In examining 75 touchstones, Popoff gives you a unique view of Bowie's career arc from folkie to the breakthrough single "Space Oddity" to his flamboyant glam rock alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, and beyond.
Illustrated with live concert and candid offstage photography as well as memorabilia including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, and more, this incredible package also includes a gatefold timeline, a gatefold painting depicting "A Party of Bowies," a previously unpublished 8×10-inch glossy print, and a pullout poster by famed gig poster artist Frank Kozik.
The result is a stunning tribute to one of the most influential and admired stars in rock history--in a milestone year.

Nechtění
Z rychlíku X-2000, který přijel na stockholmské hlavní nádraží, zmizela malá holčička. Policie začne brzy podezřívat jejího otce, na jehož dopadení vynaloží veškeré síly. Na jiném místě ve Švédsku se zatím před mužem, kterého zpočátku považovala za svého vysněného prince a osvoboditele, skrývá mladá žena. Dobře ví, proč holčička zmizela, a chystá se k dalšímu útěku. Policejní vyšetřování vede legendární komisař Alex Recht, kterému pomáhá horlivý kriminalista Peder Rydh a v neposlední řadě Fredrika Bergmanová, jejímž původním záměrem byla kariéra houslistky. Místo toho však skončila na policii a teď musí ze všech sil bojovat proti větru, aby zavedla vyšetřování jiným směrem, než tím, který se v první chvíli zdál nejpravděpodobnější. Případ plný rafinovaného zla zatím narůstá do stále větších rozměrů. Vyšetřovací tým nemá času nazbyt, pokud nemá dojít k dalším ztrátám na životech. Kolik mají času, než pachatel udělá další tah? A kdo je záhadná žena jako stín? Je třeba ji najít, aby na své místo zapadl i poslední kousek skládanky?
Kristina Ohlssonová (1979) žije ve Stockholmu. Vystudovala politologii a pracovala mimo jiné jako analytička v Organizaci pro bezpečnost a spolupráci v Evropě (OSCE), na švédském Ministerstvu zahraničních věcí a na švédském Policejním prezidiu. V minulosti publikovala odborné texty na téma Izraelsko-palestinského konfliktu a zahraniční politiky EU. Svou literární kariéru zahájila v roce 2009 detektivním románem Askungar (Nechtění). Její druhý román Tusenskönor (Sedmikrásky) získal cenu Stabilopriset a byl v roce 2010 nominován na nejlepší švédský detektivní román roku. V letech 2011 a 2012 vyšly autorce další dvě díla: Änglavakter (Andělé strážní) a Paradisoffer (Oběti ráje).

Lamentace
Léto roku 1546
Král Jindřich VIII. pomalu a v bolestech umírá. Členové královské rady, rozdělené na protestantské a katolické křídlo, bojují o moc. Strana, která zvítězí, bude určovat charakter vlády Jindřichova následníka, osmiletého prince Eduarda. Londýnem otřásá hon na kacíře, radikální protestantka Anne Askewová je upálena a katolíci u dvora soustřeďují svůj útok na šestou Jindřichovu manželku, Kateřinu Parrovou.
Matthew Shardlake se ještě nestačil zcela vzpamatovat z loňských událostí na palubě lodi Mary Rose a zastupuje jednu ze stran v nesmiřitelném sporu mezi sourozenci o matčinu poslední vůli. Náhle je neočekávaně předvolán do Whitehallu, kde ho žádá o pomoc jeho dávná ochránkyně a klientka, nyní zoufalá královna plná obav.
Kateřina Parrová totiž skrývá jisté tajemství. Napsala knihu Lamentace hříšné duše, obsahující její upřímnou zpověď. Kniha je natolik protestantská, že kdyby se dostala do rukou krále, vedla by k pádu královny i jejích podporovatelů. Přestože královna tajila samotnou existenci knihy a skrývala ji zamčenou v pevné truhlici ve vlastní ložnici, kniha jednoho dne nevysvětlitelně zmizela. Našla se jen jediná stránka, kterou svíral v ruce zavražděný londýnský tiskař.
Shardlakovo vyšetřování začíná v zastrčených londýnských uličkách, ale postupně jeho samotného i Jacka Baraka přivádí do temného bludiště politiky na královském dvoře, bludiště, kterému se chtěl do konce života důsledně vyhýbat. Věrnost královně ho však žene do víru intrik ve Whitehallu, v nichž nejsou královnini protestantští přátelé o nic menší hrozbou než její katoličtí nepřátelé. A ze všeho nejnebezpečnější jsou oportunisté vedení pouze vlastním prospěchem.
Ukazuje se, že zmizení královnina rukopisu souvisí s příšernou smrtí Anne Askewové. Vedení sporu o dědictví přivádí hrozivě blízko ke smrti na hranici i samotného Shardlaka

Photomontage
Manipulation of the photograph is as old as photography itself. It has embodied and enlivened political propaganda, satire, publicity and commercial art, and created evocations of the 'brave new world' of the future through surreal and fantastic visions. Photomontages were made by, among others, the Dadaists, John Heartfield, El Lissitzky, Hannah Hoch and Alexander Rodchenko, and many of their works were reproduced for the first time in print when this groundbreaking study was originally published.
Revered by academics, critics and readers alike, this new edition with updates is still the only definitive guide to the subject.
With 225 illustrations in colour
