'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is
in London all that life can afford,' said Samuel Johnson in 1777.

'riddle', a 'cesspool' and a 'modern Babylon', and both Londoners
and visitors alike have continued to share their candid views of a
great city in a variety of literary forms. This compact gift book
is packed full of witty, scandalous and entertaining quotations
about this famous city from the Middle Ages to the current decade.
As a human, you have the absolute right to your beliefs. No one has the

Though his life was relatively short, Christian Ernest Dior's
seismic influence on the fashion world ensures his name lives on as
one of the most successful and celebrated designers of all time.
Using the rationing restrictions of wartime, he created designs
that extenuated the female figure and released the women of the
world from the restrictive, dull clothing that restricted rather
than enhanced femininity. It was Dior's sudden prominence on the
world stage that restored Paris' reputation as the epicentre of the
fashion world. To wear a Dior item of clothing, was to wear the
best of the best. His post-War collection was described as a
completely 'new look' by the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar,
one of the world's most powerful style magazines. The description
was adopted and quickly became a fashion movement, with Dior's 'New
Look' leading the way and even stealing the limelight from
compatriot Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel. The Little Guide to Christian
Dior shows how despite coming from a wealthy background with
powerful allies, Christian Dior may not have had to scrap his way
to the top as Coco Chanel did, but his talent is no less worthy and
his legacy as one of the world's greatest designers is no less
deserving. 'My dream? To make women happier and more beatiiful.' As

A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of
Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but
don't have the words to express, until now-from the creator of the
popular online project of the same name. Have you ever wondered
about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing
that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living
a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name:
"sonder." Or maybe you've watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a
primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life.
That's called "lachesism." Or you were looking through old photos
and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you've never actually
experienced. That's "anemoia." If you've never heard of these terms
before, that's because they didn't exist until John Koenig began
his epic quest to fill the gaps in the language of emotion. Born as
a website in 2009, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows has garnered
widespread critical acclaim, inspired TED talks, album titles,
cocktails, and even tattoos. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
"creates beautiful new words that we need but do not yet have,"
says John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars. By
turns poignant, funny, and mind-bending, the definitions include
whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world,
interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that
explore forgotten corners of the human condition-from "astrophe,"
the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to "zenosyne," the
sense that time keeps getting faster. The Dictionary of Obscure
Sorrows is for anyone who enjoys a shift in perspective, pondering
the ineffable feelings that make up our lives, which have far more
in common than we think. With a gorgeous package and beautifully
illustrated throughout, this is the perfect gift for creatives,
word nerds, and people everywhere.
