| Description: |
Designer Alan Fletcher has spent a lifetime collecting images, ideas, useless information, quotations and scraps, all of which he turned into The Art of Looking Sideways. This title represents a distillation of 100 of the best images from this project, and converts them into a collection of postcards that should entertain, stimulate and inspire. |
| Synopsis: |
The collection of 100 Maverick Postcards presents 100 variations on the theme of visual and verbal pleasure. Many of these are based on Alan Fletcher's own quirky and inimitable drawings and watercolours, while the rest are all highly entertaining examples of wit, wisdom and games with words and images. This collection will have an immensely wide appeal. As Alan Fletcher says himself, these cards are for 'aunties, starlets, dreamers, cousins, aesthetes, pilots, scoundrels, vixens, clerks, vegans, attorneys, granddads, fakirs, stewards, brokers, conjurors, gremlins, bishops, hypocrites, tutors, batsmen, tycoons, doctors, hookers, swots, libras, girls, members, snorkellers, golfers, judges, matadors, poseurs, flaneurs pimps, printers, cyclists, parents, mobsters, players, neighbours, mandarins, jokers, managers, guards, chaps, journalists, matrons, blue stockings, atheists, beaus, ornithologists, clerics, romeos, strikers...' and any more you can think of. |

The Appeal
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst "cancer cluster" in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.

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.

Fern
Fern Britton has been widely loved as the presenter of "Ready Steady Cook", and, co-presenter of "This Morning with Philip Schofield". Her warmth and humour, empathy and compassion, have made her feel like a best friend to millions, but no one knows the woman behind the sparkling smile. This title presents her story.
