Dave Horsley
Pavilion, 2007
Great for all athletes, not just runners
If you are a runner, adventure racer, ultrarunner, or interested in extreme events, Extreme Running is for you. I love this book. Extreme Running features sections on races on the seven continents. Twenty-four events are profiled in the chapters. Each event is shown ...
Steve McQueen: A Life in Pictures
Yann-Brice Dherbier
Pavilion, 2008
Nice Photos, but it could be better
'A Life in Pictures' is a bit misleading as the title. Yes, there are several photos spanning McQueen's acting career, but it is hardly comprehensive. For every rare photo (or color version), there is a familiar one (some published a few years ago in the excellent book ...
Audrey Hepburn: A Life in Pictures
Pavilion, 2007
A Beautiful Book
This is a gorgeous book. The pictures are huge and clear with lots of bio tidbits and quotes around the pictures. Definitely worth it for any Audrey fan.

Seen as one of the first cinematic sex symbols, Sophia Loren's charisma and voluptuous figure attracted many admirers. Yet her life away from the cameras may surprise some?she was married to Carlo Ponti, film producer, throughout her career and until his recent death.

Jack Vettriano
Jack Vettriano
Pavilion, 2006
Art that's easy to enjoy
You may well have seen Vettriano's "The Singing Butler," or other of his elegant paintings - but that doesn't mean you've heard of him. This book takes care of that. It covers eighteen years of his career, 1987 to 2004. It shows what you missed, and probably a few ...
Jane Austen's Letters
Jane Austen
Pavilion Press, 2003
Great, easy read
This little book was great. It contained all the available letters without any later interpretation. The only problem is that the book is cheaply made. Pages immediatly fell out, and the presentation is crappy.Also, if you know nothing of Jane or he family its hard to ...
Cupcake Magic: Little Cakes with Attitude
Kate Shirazi
Pavilion, 2008
cupcakes and book do have magic!
Just as it includes more than dessert cupcakes, this delightful book has that touch of spice and savory that makes it my favorite of cupcake books. It is a bit like reading a witty journal, but with fabulous photos and ideas. I wandered into this cupcake world and am ...
The Savoy Cocktail Book
Harry Craddock
Pavilion, 2007
My new bible
Whether you're a cocktail veteran, or just starting out, the Savoy Coctail Book is an absolute must-have companion to any bar. It's got loads of recipes for favorites like Manhattans and Rob Roys, and even a few new ones (Millenium cocktail), not to mention that ...
Grace Kelly: A Life in Pictures
Pavilion, 2007
The definitive book about Grace Kelly
Best image selection, best layout, moving foreword by Prince Albert.
Jack Vettriano: Studio Life
Jack Vettriano
Pavilion, 2008
Vettriano lets us take a look inside his work.
I'll confess it now, I'm not much of one for most modern art. I tend to find it too loud, or too busy, or just plain awful. But, as they say, there are exceptions to every rule, and Scottish born, self-taught, artist Jack Vettriano is one of them. You might not ...
Agent Provocateur Exhibitionist
Agent Provocateur
Pavilion, 2008
False Advertising
I am a fan of agent provocateur lingerie and their campaign. I was excited about this book but when I got it I found it was nothing but pictures of mannequins in store windows. I was expecting more of a fine art nude/lingerie book. Still the direction of the book is ...
Lady Cottington's Pocket Pressed Fairy Book
Terry Jones
Pavilion Books, 2000
Shrunken Faries
This book is a beautiful shrunken version of the "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book". It is an exact replica only about 1/8th the size of the original, which is something to be aware of if purchasing for yourself. This book makes a great gift book for almost ...
Elizabeth Taylor: A Life in Pictures
Pavilion, 2008
Elizabeth Taylor was one of the first great actresses to embrace the Hollywood lifestyle. Accomplished in her field and revered for her beauty, Liz's career firmly placed her in the limelight from an early age. Films such as National Velvet , Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof paved the way for her to become the first ...
Whisky Classified: choosing single malts by flavour
David Wishart
Pavilion Books, 2006
how to find (and appreciate) your favorite whisky ...
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys single malts and is interested in learning about their history, production and wide range of flavors. The history of whisky is quite fascinating (ever wonder about the origins of the phrase 'the real McCoy'?) and the wonderful ...
Flowers by Design: Jeff Leatham of the Four Seasons Hotel George V - Paris
Jeff Leatham
Pavilion Books, 2004
Floral Design for Spacious and Gracious Living
I had the good fortune of working with Jeff personally, and I own this book. I love his idea of decorating the space as opposed to just decorating a vase, and putting it on a table. Most Floral designers just think too small!Jeff only uses the most beautiful flowers ...
