Killer Web Content: Make the Sale, Deliver the Service, Build the Brand
Gerry McGovern
A&C Black, 2007
Oh, so simple. Oh, so complicated. Oh, so absolutely worthwhile....
Gerry McGovern's "Killer Web Content" *seems* to be a primer about writing "killer content." And it is. He talks about simple ideas (e.g., "killer, not filler," or, on the Net, "in self-service mode, people go on gut instinct") in simple sentences, with lots of words ...
Churchill Plays: 1: Owners, Traps, Vinegar Tom, Light Shining in Buckinghamshire, and Cloud Nine (Methuen ...
Caryl Churchill
A&C Black, 2003
Amazing plays
This collection of Caryl Churchill's early plays is astounding. Tony Kushner rightly calls her the best playwright currently writing and these plays immediately make that clear. Churchill is an unabashedly feminist playwright whose work addresses issues of power and ...
The Seagull (Methuen Drama)
Anton Chekhov
A&C Black, 2002
a masterful new translation
Russian plays aren't for everyone--they are dense, heavy affairs, packed full of ideas and slow moving characters. If you are looking for a fast-paced potboiler with lots of action, etc. then stay away from Chekhov. But if you enjoy reflection and having something to ...

Caryl Churchill
A&C Black, 2003
Churchill plays

Blasted (Methuen Drama)
Sarah Kane
A&C Black, 2003
Beautiful. Horrific but beatiful.
This is the play that introduced the world to Sarah Kane. It is undoubtedly violent and sexually explicit, but through all this pain and anguish grows love and forgiveness. The play is set during an unnamed civil war, the action, however, takes place in Ian's hotel ...
The Nature & Art of Workmanship
David Pye
A&C Black, 2008
This is one of the classic books on craftsmanship and design. In it, David Pye explores the meaning of skill and its relationship to design and manufacture. Cutting through a century of fuzzy thinking, he proposes a new theory of making based on the concept of good workmanship and shows how it imparts all-important diversity into our visual ...
Sarah Kane: Complete Plays
Sarah Kane
A&C Black, 2001
Not just Family Fun...
Sarah Kane is anything but family friendly. Her plays are raw, brutal, and yet beautiful in an ironic way. She takes all of the hate that exists in this world and uses it to show us the beauty that can come from the ruble of a blown up building. There is no way to ...
100 Must-Read Classic Novels (Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide S.)
A&C Black, 2007
First rate recommendations of classic fiction for all libraries
As the one other reviewer here is being unkind enough to ruin the author's chances of selling this book by giving it a one star review when her problem seems to be that the product description is insufficient for her needs, I thought I'd redress the balance - don;t ...

A&C Black, 2003
Brilliant Play by a brilliant Writer

Brenda Hartill

Richard Clarke
A&C Black, 2008
Excellent book
This is a great book showing the work of many artists and discussing the history and placement of the colloraph. I enjoyed it thoroughly and bought one for a friend of mine who does this type of work. Since I am a printmaker I think one cannot have too many good books ...
Colour Etching (Printmaking Handbooks (PH))
Nigel Oxley
A&C Black, 2008
chock full of good nuggets
This modest-sized handbook is packed with useful tips for intaglio color printing. You will find detailed information about paper, inks, wiping, and edition handling beyond most general printmaking books. I have an extensive collection of printmaking guide books, yet ...
4.48 Psychosis
Sarah Kane
A&C Black, 2001
this play is intense
I've read many of Sarah Kane's plays...and hated them all. However, this specific play of hers hits so deaply at what it means to be truly depressed, it's scary. 4.48 psychosis represents 4:48 am, the time when most people commit suicide. This in itself show how ...
The Acid House
Irvine Welsh
A&C Black, 2000
You've f****d this one up, ya daft c**t
Though I had never read an Irvine Welsh book from beginning to end I love the movie of The Acid House and I'm forever quoting it. Being from Scotland and knowing some of the rascals portrayed so convincingly on screen I found it hilarious. I came across the book about ...
Top Girls: Methuen Student Edition (Open University Set Book)
Caryl Churchill
A&C Black, 2003
Definitive of great theatre
So deep and dense with facts, theory and symbolism that I thought she broke my brain! I have never been more pleased with a play. This was a masterpiece.
Monoprinting (Printmaking Handbooks (PH))
Jackie Newell

Dee Whittington
A&C Black, 2008
Unclear and confusing
A hodge-podge of techniques, none of which are explained fully. There isn't one sequence of how-to-do-it pictures. Instead, the authors provide written instructions that test the limits of understanding. I'm an experienced printmaker, but this book was a mystery to me.
