Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This guide explores the London of John le Carre and his most famous creation - master spy George Smiley. We map his haunts and trail him through foggy streets to the pubs and safe houses frequented by colleagues and rivals from 'The Circus' of British Intelligence. Here, the real and fictional overlap; le Carre (David Cornwell) was a former spy, and he brought that knowledge and attention to detail to his writing - along with discreet references to the real world of espionage. His exacting approach makes it possible to pinpoint locations across the capital, all drawn from his classic Circus novels: Call For The Dead, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, The Looking Glass War, The Honourable Schoolboy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Smiley's People, The Secret Pilgrim and A Legacy Of Spies - as well as key locations from the writer's own experience. Rigorously researched and meticulously plotted, this is an essential companion for fans of spy fi ction and a window into a secret world of dead drops and tail shakes, assignations and assassinations.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Born in Brixton and raised in Bromley, David Bowie's journey through the city mirrored his artistic evolution. Bowie traversed London's diverse neighbourhoods. He recorded groundbreaking albums in Soho, lived in upscale Marylebone and Chelsea with various collaborators, and explored counterculture in Beckenham through his community-based 'arts lab'. Covent Garden played a pivotal role, hosting Bowie's performances with the experimental trio Feathers and later becoming home to clubs like Blitz and Hell, epicentres of the New Romantic movement Bowie heavily influenced. Although Bowie left the UK in 1974, London continued to influence his work. His transformations from mod to glam to New Romantic reflected the city's ever-changing cultural landscape. This guide charts 61 locations associated with Bowie's life and career in the capital

This map accompanies the documentary feature Woodlands Dark And Days Bewitched (2021) from Severin Films.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
John Simons has spent seven decades quietly shaping British menswear. His shops were among the first in the UK to import American Ivy League style, and he gave the Harrington jacket its name. While trends have shifted, Simons' approach has remained clear-sighted, inventive and independent. Clothesville: John Simons' London charts his life in style. It follows him from early days at Cecil Gee, the opening of The Ivy Shop in 1965 and the Soho clubs where London's modernists gathered. Readers will see how Simons persuaded British manufacturers to sell him their American export designs, and how his shops became meeting places for style-conscious Londoners. Drawn from Simons' own recollections and supported by contemporary sources, the fold-out guide is both map and biography. Written by Ben Olins and designed by Grey Haas, Clothesville continues Herb Lester Associates' tradition of richly illustrated guides to cultural history.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A fold-out poster guide to the elements of Ivy League style as interpreted by veteran Japanese illustrator Kazuo Hozumi. Since the 1960s, Kazuo Hozumi has documented the minutiae of Ivy League-style clothing. His cheerful characters are shown wearing buttondown shirts, buckle-back chinos, natural shoulder herringbone tweed jackets and the plethora of items that fall within this style. Hozumi's finely observed illustration work has gained a cult following for the unerring accuracy with which he depicts menswear and his deceptively simple style, with echoes of both Japanese Kokeshi dolls and American children's author and illustrator Richard Scarry. Illustrated Ivy is the first time Kazuo Hozumi's Ivy illustrations have been available with his accompanying text in English.

Whether stepping into a Turkish bath on Northumberland Avenue, following a Christmas goose to Covent Garden, or glimpsing fragments of the Red-Headed League off Fleet Street, readers walk the blurred line between fact and fiction.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The London of Slow Horses is more than just a backdrop; at once grim and flash, oppressively surveilled and unknowably huge, the city is an integral part of Herron's stories. Lamb's London charts the real places used in both the books and TV show: the rundown parade of shops in Barbican in which Slough House squats; the bench by the Thames where Lamb and Diana Taverner hold secret meetings; Lamb's favourite Chinese restaurant; the Marylebone cafe the opposition uses for dead drops, the hidden hideaways and pubs to which Cartwright, Standish, Ho and co. retreat to drown their sorrows. Lamb's London is an essential addition to the library of every Mick Herron fan, and for casual viewers it provides a thrilling real-life link to the most exciting and original spy drama of our time.
Facts Concerning HP Lovecraft and his Environs

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Today, HP Lovecraft's name is a byword for the mysterious, the arcane and the bizarre. His stories of fantasy and horror are revered, his creations still vivid. Yet during his short, unhappy life, he was all but unknown. Physically weak and tormented by his own eccentricities, his was a hand-to-mouth existence spent in shabby dwellings in Providence and Brooklyn. From childhood, he fantasised about life in pre-Revolutionary America; as an adult he undertook long sojourns up and down the eastern seaboard, visiting sites he associated with an age of lost glory. All of this is documented in the map and guide within, along with the real-life locations that formed the basis for his most famous fictional creations - Arkham, Innsmouth, Dunwich and Kingsport. Welcome to the world of HP Lovecraft: you might say it's an interesting place to visit, but we wouldn't want to live there.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Frida Kahlo's haunting art often explores two subjects: the first, her turbulent relationship with Communist muralist Diego Rivera; the second is her home country, Mexico. Aside from stints in the United States and Europe, she spent most of her life in the Blue House in Coyoacan, a leafy neighbourhood in the south of Mexico City. It was here she was born, learned to paint while recovering from a traumatic accident, lived on and off with Diego and died, aged just 47, leaving behind 200 works that weave together Surrealism, fantasy and folklore. In this guide we chart Kahlo's time in this vast metropolis, from childhood to death, taking in life-altering events such as a tram accident that left her bedridden for years, to her first glimpse of Diego. Through 35 entries, we gain insight into Kahlo's life and work and the inspiration she found in the city of her birth.

In this map and guide we chart the brief, intense period of the Profumo Scandal of 1963. An affair that shocked the establishment, bringing together spies, politicians, teenage 'good-time girls', slumlords and sundry inhabitabitants of London's demi-monde. Cliveden Estate, July 1961: 19-year-old model Christine Keeler is introduced to John Profumo, Secretary of State for War. The pair embark on a brief affair, however, Christine is also enjoying the attention of Yevgeny Ivanov a Soviet agent who is being monitored by MI5. The man who links this trio is osteopath Dr Stephen Ward. That would likely have been the end of the story had other elements of Keeler's life not spiralled out of control culminating in gunfire in a quiet mews in Marylebone. The press would soon join the dots between Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice-Davies, John Profumo and an ever-expanding cast of those on the fringes of a sexually liberated London underworld.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The third in our collection of guides to the great London spy novelists, following on from John le Carre's London and Lamb's London - which explores the city as it appears in Mick Herron's Slough House novels. Ian Fleming's life was, in many aspects, identical to that of his creation, James Bond. They smoked the same cigarettes, drank the same cocktails, and went to the same restaurants. Much of the London that Fleming knew exists today, and with this guide, you can visit his tailor, drink at his favourite bar, buy his preferred aftershave, even loiter outside his flat. It's a tour that takes in some of London's wealthiest neighbourhoods, places immune to change, that would be immediately recognisable to Fleming 60 years after his death in 1964. And it brings to vivid life the agent known as 007, whose habits and preferences so mirror that of his creator.

The famed and feared occultist Aleister Crowley was never in one place long. His travels took him across the globe, sometimes as a seeker, at other times staying just ahead of creditors, rivals and cast-off lovers. In this large-format illustrated map and guide, author Gary Lachman documents key locations in the homeland to which Aleister Crowley always returned, from his birth in Royal Leamington Spa in 1875 to his death in Hastings in 1947. The 40-plus entries include Carlisle, where a teenage Crowley slept with a hotel chambermaid and threw his tutor out of a boat; Boleskine, his house on Loch Ness, later owned by Jimmy Page; and numerous London addresses, including residences, pubs, occult shops and even the Cafe Royal, where he pretended to be invisible and ran out on the bill. Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain offers insight into the life of an intriguing, complex and profoundly flawed character, whose influence reverberates long after his death.

The London of Slow Horses is more than just a backdrop; at once grim and flash, oppressively surveilled and unknowably huge, the city is an integral part of Herron's stories. Lamb's London charts the real places used in both the books and TV show: the rundown parade of shops in Barbican in which Slough House squats; the bench by the Thames where Lamb and Diana Taverner hold secret meetings; Lamb's favourite Chinese restaurant; the Marylebone cafe the opposition uses for dead drops, the hidden hideaways and pubs to which Cartwright, Standish, Ho and co. retreat to drown their sorrows. Lamb's London is an essential addition to the library of every Mick Herron fan, and for casual viewers it provides a thrilling real-life link to the most exciting and original spy drama of our time.

Today, HP Lovecraft's name is a byword for the mysterious, the arcane and the bizarre. His stories of fantasy and horror are revered, his creations still vivid. Yet during his short, unhappy life, he was all but unknown. Physically weak and tormented by his own eccentricities, his was a hand-to-mouth existence spent in shabby dwellings in Providence and Brooklyn. From childhood, he fantasised about life in pre-Revolutionary America; as an adult he undertook long sojourns up and down the eastern seaboard, visiting sites he associated with an age of lost glory. All of this is documented in the map and guide within, along with the real-life locations that formed the basis for his most famous fictional creations - Arkham, Innsmouth, Dunwich and Kingsport. Welcome to the world of HP Lovecraft: you might say it's an interesting place to visit, but we wouldn't want to live there.

Frida Kahlo's haunting art often explores two subjects: the first, her turbulent relationship with Communist muralist Diego Rivera; the second is her home country, Mexico. Aside from stints in the United States and Europe, she spent most of her life in the Blue House in Coyoacan, a leafy neighbourhood in the south of Mexico City. It was here she was born, learned to paint while recovering from a traumatic accident, lived on and off with Diego and died, aged just 47, leaving behind 200 works that weave together Surrealism, fantasy and folklore. In this guide we chart Kahlo's time in this vast metropolis, from childhood to death, taking in life-altering events such as a tram accident that left her bedridden for years, to her first glimpse of Diego. Through 35 entries, we gain insight into Kahlo's life and work and the inspiration she found in the city of her birth.

In this map and guide we chart the brief, intense period of the Profumo Scandal of 1963. An affair that shocked the establishment, bringing together spies, politicians, teenage 'good-time girls', slumlords and sundry inhabitabitants of London's demi-monde. Cliveden Estate, July 1961: 19-year-old model Christine Keeler is introduced to John Profumo, Secretary of State for War. The pair embark on a brief affair, however, Christine is also enjoying the attention of Yevgeny Ivanov a Soviet agent who is being monitored by MI5. The man who links this trio is osteopath Dr Stephen Ward. That would likely have been the end of the story had other elements of Keeler's life not spiralled out of control culminating in gunfire in a quiet mews in Marylebone. The press would soon join the dots between Christine Keeler, Mandy Rice-Davies, John Profumo and an ever-expanding cast of those on the fringes of a sexually liberated London underworld.

The third in our collection of guides to the great London spy novelists, following on from John le Carre's London and Lamb's London - which explores the city as it appears in Mick Herron's Slough House novels. Ian Fleming's life was, in many aspects, identical to that of his creation, James Bond. They smoked the same cigarettes, drank the same cocktails, and went to the same restaurants. Much of the London that Fleming knew exists today, and with this guide, you can visit his tailor, drink at his favourite bar, buy his preferred aftershave, even loiter outside his flat. It's a tour that takes in some of London's wealthiest neighbourhoods, places immune to change, that would be immediately recognisable to Fleming 60 years after his death in 1964. And it brings to vivid life the agent known as 007, whose habits and preferences so mirror that of his creator.

The famed and feared occultist Aleister Crowley was never in one place long. His travels took him across the globe, sometimes as a seeker, at other times staying just ahead of creditors, rivals and cast-off lovers. In this large-format illustrated map and guide, author Gary Lachman documents key locations in the homeland to which Aleister Crowley always returned, from his birth in Royal Leamington Spa in 1875 to his death in Hastings in 1947. The 40-plus entries include Carlisle, where a teenage Crowley slept with a hotel chambermaid and threw his tutor out of a boat; Boleskine, his house on Loch Ness, later owned by Jimmy Page; and numerous London addresses, including residences, pubs, occult shops and even the Cafe Royal, where he pretended to be invisible and ran out on the bill. Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain offers insight into the life of an intriguing, complex and profoundly flawed character, whose influence reverberates long after his death.
