Bridgman’s classic, essential guide — with more than 1,000 drawings and 22 expert lessons on mastering the human figure from every angle — is now completely redesigned!

Bridgman’s Complete Guide to Drawing from Life combines six well-known books by celebrated artist and lecturer George A. Bridgman, who taught figure and anatomy drawing at New York City's Art Students League. This fifth edition preserves Bridgman’s comprehensive, unequalled lessons and original sketches but repackages it with a new eye-catching cover that distinguishes it from the competition. In addition, the interior art has been cleaned and the design freshened in two-color. In its sleek new format, this authoritative volume is sure to continue as one of the premier figure-drawing publications of all time.

About the Author:

George B. Bridgman (1865–1943) was a celebrated Canadian-American artist and lecturer who taught figure and anatomy drawing for many years at New York City’s Art Students League. His previous books, assembled in this volume, separately garnered significant popularity and respect within the artistic community, and they continue to post strong sales.

Unlike most flower-arrangement books, which rely on expensive and often nonseasonal flowers from florists, this book presents an alternative that is in line with the “back to nature” movement. This is the first volume to showcase how to be inspired by nature’s seasonal bounty and bring that nature into the home through floral arrangements.

From the well-known lifestyle photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo and Nicolette Owen of Brooklyn’s Little Flower School, Bringing Nature Home presents a portfolio of unique and original floral arrangements directly inspired by the seasons and the local environment, with sources ranging from farmers’ market offerings to the backyard garden. Presented through lush photography that also showcases the beautiful interiors the arrangements are created for, this is as much a decorating tome as it is a floral-arrangement guide. 

A how-to section offers advice on the selection, trimming, and care of the arrangements and on repurposed and unique containers, making this book practical as well as inspiring.

About the Authors:

Ngoc Minh Ngo is an established photographer for magazines such as Martha Stewart Living, Domino, Elle Décoration UK, and Architectural Digest.

Nicolette Owen is the cofounder of the Little Flower School in Brooklyn.

Deborah Needleman was the founding editor of Domino magazine and is currently the editor-in-chief of WSJ Magazine.

British Furniture 1820 to 1920: The Luxury Market, written by celebrated furniture historian Christopher Payne and including over 1,000 superb photographs, is a landmark publication and the first book to comprehensively assess British furniture design from the early origins of the so-called Victorian era through the myriad of influences in vogue up to the 1920s. It goes further than any book has attempted before, creating a continuum to underline the importance of the late Recency style favoured by George IV, moving through to the first two decades of the twentieth century, with a host of ever-changing styles and fashions. Payne studies the influence of the exhibition era, trade catalogues, retailers and subcontractors, and sheds light on the often-unidentified makers of reproduction furniture that later became an important part of the market. He also illustrates the importance of the revival styles, a fundamental part of the furniture trade that has often previously been ignored and shines the light on makers and suppliers of the popular Rococo Revival, ‘Queen Anne’ and ‘Chippendale’ styles. 

Some of the makers’ names are familiar to furniture collectors, such as Collinson & Lock, Edwards & Roberts, Gillow, Holland, Maples and Morris & Co., but many are less so and their work is explained and presented here for the first time.

- British Furniture 1820 to 1920 - The Luxury Market is the major work in its field, a stunning achievement and a landmark publication
- The first book to properly assess the work of British Furniture makers through the 19th century, among them great names such as Gillows, Maples, Hollands and Morris & Co
- In over 600 pages, all lavishly illustrated, the author creates the new and definitive work on this subject
- Christopher Payne, a former director of Sotheby's, is an independent furniture historian and well-known author who has appeared on the BBC Antiques Roadshow for over 30 years

In it, the world’s most iconic models like Christy Turlington and Kate Moss, are captured in images that would define their careers, and remain indelible to the consumer. Accompanied by private insights and behind-the-scenes stories that only he could tell, every image has been chosen by Calvin Klein to narrate his evolution as a designer — from couture to jeans, underwear, and fragrance — all categories in which he redefined what was chic and essential.

As an icon of minimalism, modernism, sexual provocation, and androgyny, Calvin Klein’s first book will find broad appeal with anyone interested in design, fashion, or photography. Few names in fashion are as recognizable as that of Calvin Klein.

This unique book presents a stunning archive of images that reveal his timeless influence as a designer. From founding the company in New York in 1968, he went on to change the face of fashion, bringing his visionary minimalism to the fore and defining looks for generations. Divided by theme, with characteristic simplicity and sophistication, each of the three sections in this volume looks at one singular element of Klein’s approach. In Provocative, we see the most controversial of his campaigns, from Brooke Shields’s infamous teenage portraits to the seductive photography of underwear collections. In Minimalist, we understand the simplicity, refinement, and elegance in every collection. And in the final section, we read in the designer’s own words the insights behind the campaigns and the secrets behind the successes.

Cool cars and international hyper architecture

Architecture and Cars: not only does this combination generate beautiful pictures - eye candy for both architecture lovers and car freaks - but it is also a fascinating marriage. Where, for instance, did the idea come from that everyself-respecting architect automatically drove a Saab? Why could Le Corbusier just as well have been called Le Carbusier? And is Frank Lloyd Wright really the inventor of the carport?

Carchitecture answers these questions and many more alongside gorgeous photography on a journey through iconic architecture and car design. Starchitecture meets supercar across six chapters: Classical Gas, Brutal Power, Contemporary Carchitecture, European Modernism, Space Rage, and Case Study Cars.
