In 2003, a curious, old-fashioned, pocket-size book transformed
the way we look at information. Since then, "Schott's Original
Miscellany" and its two sequel volumes have been translated into
more than fifteen languages and have sold some three million
copies. Now Ben Schott returns to the miscellany format with a brand-new
cabinet of curiosities. Inside, you'll find fascinating facts cheek
by jowl with information you can't live without. All things are
considered, from footwear labeling symbols, airport runway
markings, and sign-writing brush sizes to the traditional method of
counting sheep and how to smoke cigars while reading the
news. Nothing escapes the jeweler's eye of this curator of
unconsidered trifles. An essential addition to the bookshelf of all
who love life's rich tapestry, "Schott's Quintessential
Miscellany"-equal parts encyclopedia, almanac, treasury, and
lexicon-will remind you that there is only one Ben Schott. Praise for "Schott's Miscellanies" "If we live in an information age, then Ben Schott has become
something of a maestro, or perhaps a master chef, ranging over the
whole of knowledge and seasoning his...books with a pinch of this,
a drop of that." -"Chicago Sun-Times" "Genuine practical value...Elegantly designed...A vast empire of
informational flotsam and jetsam." -"New York Times" "One of the oddest and most addictively readable reference books
in print."-"Boston Globe" "Completely earnest and mischievous at the same time."-"Newsday"
This book is a reverent and interactive homage to David Bowie, with dense illustrations of the many real and imagined universes of his own making. Hidden somewhere on each of these double page spreads, a Bowie is patiently waiting to be spotted by the well-trained eye of a fan. As the chameleonic Bowie took on so many iconic personas across his illustrious career, each moment is celebrated chronologically in this book. You will have to find young and dapper David Jones in 1960s Brixton; look for Ziggy Stardust in spaced out Outer Space, crawling with Martian spiders and nestled between the stars; then search for glam Bowie among the revellers at Studio 54; and ask yourself, "is that the Thin White Duke outside Hansa By the Wall in late-70s Berlin?" Each page of this book is so laden with Bowie references that you might even pick up a factoid or two in your search. With fun, detailed illustrations that explore Bowie's world - and that of his influences - Where's Bowie is the perfect guide to the cultural icon for both adults and children. Plus, who doesn't want to raise their kid as a Bowie super-geek? No one - that's who.

If you're looking for a book which is fun and at the same time informative about Lancashire then this is the one for you. If you want to sit down and read it from cover to cover you will be fascinated by the things you did not know about this amazing part of England. On the other hand, if you just want something to dip into on the train or bus or to read for five minutes in bed before you fall asleep, this book will also do the job. Did you know for instance that in Wigan, Eccles cakes used to be called 'slow walking cakes' because they were offered to mourners at funerals? Or that that St Walburge's Church in Preston was named after the Patron Saint of people suffering from rabies? Thought not. |
