Arthur J. Elsley was the most popular 'chocolate box' artist of the late Victorian and Edwardian period; over 150 of his works were reproduced as prints. Long dismissed by art historians, this genre now demands reappraisal as an important aspect of Victorian art.

Conceived by Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge crystallographer, and spearheaded by the Council of Industrial Design, the Festival Pattern Group co-opted diagrams of atomic structures for patterns on everyday products, including textiles, wallpapers, ceramics and glass. The result was a weird and wonderful collection of furnishings and accessories decorated with scientifically accurate crystal structure designs.

The birth of the Royal Crown Derby series of paperweights can be traced to a special event held at Chatsworth House in 1981 when, together with a number of new designs for tableware, the firm introduced six paperweights in animal form: an Owl, Duck, Quail, Penguin, Wren and Rabbit. The extraordinary success of this paperweight range is reflected in its expansion to over 400 models. The development of limited editions and many different types of exclusives - all with their particular backstamps - has stimulated the collector's market. The Royal Crown Derby Collectors Guild provides valuable opportunities for collectors to share news, buy special editions and attend events. With so much variety in all areas of the range and new models regularly introduced, collectors have a wide choice. There are those who wish only to purchase cats, or breeds of dogs, or paperweights decorated by particular designers, Tien Manh Dinh or Sue Rowe for example. This entirely revised and updated edition of Ian Cox's original book is essential reading for all enthusiasts and collectors of this paperweight range - it contains a new chapter and a fully illustrated catalogue of all production paperweights since 1981. The miniature ranges of Teddies, Treasures of Childhood and Buildings have also been included as they are of great interest to the collector.

Midwinter has now become one of the foremost collectibles from the 1950s and is set to follow the path of Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper pottery in both popularity and price. In the last ten years, 1950s design has been elevated from obscurity, and examples of furniture, fabric and pottery are on display in museums and galleries across the world. Examples of Midwinter pottery have become familiar 'retro' images as seen on TV and in the many books on the period. However, Midwinter is much more than just the 1950s - in the 1960s they produced a groundbreaking bestseller in the Fine range designed by David Queensberry. Roy Midwinter designed the quintessential 1970s Stonehenge range and Eve Midwinter the pastel 1980s Style range. This 3rd edition of the Midwinter 'bible' has an additional last chapter bringing the history up to 2011. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in twentieth century design history.

Before the age of the paper book jacket, publishers issued their books in cloth-covered boards, which were stamped with designs in golf leaf and color. From around 1860, artists of the Arts and Crafts movement supplied many of the best designs. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris and Walter Crane led the way, and they were followed in the 1890s by Laurence Housman, Charles Ricketts and Selwyn Image, among others. Prominent Arts and Crafts architects, such as Philip Webb and C.F.A. Voysey, also designed book covers. Malcolm Haslam explores this uncharted territory, investigating not only the designs and designers, but the publishers and binders as well. He introduces some artists, little known today, whose designs filled the bookshops and bookshelves of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, and he shows how designers in Europe and America were influenced by British book covers decorated in the Arts and Crafts style. Ninety-nine of the best covers are illustrated and described, and details are given of over fifty Arts and Crafts designers who worked in commercial book production, and their marks and monograms are shown.
