| Synopsis: |
Centuries ago, ardent young Welshmen began the tradition of creating beautiful wooden spoons, carved with appropriate romantic symbols, to give to the girl of their dreams. Lovespoons are still presented as tokens of affection and good luck today, and in this book two leading practitioners explain the background of their craft, reveal the techniques involved in creating these highly prized objects and show absolute beginners how to design and fashion lovespoons of their own. Features include: A comprehensive illustrated guide to lovespoon Celtic symbols. A checklist of all tools and equipment you will need. Step-by-step instructions on spoon carving, including the complexities of chains, spirals and balls in cages. A portfolio of 30 lovespoon patterns, with notes on their inspiration, the types of wood chosen and the craftsmanship involved. A practical guide to lovespoon design, incorporating traditional symbols. Tips and useful aids, including sharpening and finishing techniques. A gallery of lovespoons carved by the authors. |

Scarpetta
Kay Scarpetta takes up an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured patient in a psychiatric ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her. The story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard. Is his paranoid tale true? The only thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered, and that more violent deaths will follow.

Just What I Always Wanted
What do Mount Kilimanjaro, a hundred-million-dollar marble mansion, a pair of handcuffs, a jar of walnut jam, the bleeding heart of a dead elk, an incontinent donkey, two Scottish terriers called Negus and Stasi, a fur-lined jockstrap, and the fossilized bowel movement of a turtle have in common? They have all been offered as birthday presents to some rather famous people. This book presents a curiously compelling collection of celebrity birthday gifts from the 16th century to the present day.
