The John Lund Story
In 1987, John Lund's eleven year struggle behind the wheel finally came good - he won the stock car World Final. Little did he realise that over twenty years later he would still be part of the sport, having won the World Final more times than any other. GOLD TOP tells the story behind John Lund's stock car career. Based on interviews with John and his family, it draws the rich anecdotes from a quiet and modest champion to conjure a colourful and compelling biography. From triumph to tragedy, this is the long journey that made John Lund one of the most experienced, popular and successful drivers in the history of motorsport. A proportion of the price of this book will be donated to the British Stock Car Drivers Association Benevolent Fund.

Inscriptions of Ralph Beyer
Ralph Beyer (1921-2008), exiled at the age of sixteen from Nazi Germany, made his home and career in Britain. He was a carver of stone inscriptions, best known for his huge 'Tablets of the Word' in Basil Spence's Coventry Cathedral. These broke the mould of classical formality associated with British lettercarving after Eric Gill -- their irregularity and roughness offending conventional notions of 'correctness'. In fact, Beyer had spent a few formative months in Gill's workshop, but his own unique voice owed as much to his childhood in Weimar Germany and his father's wide interests, which ranged from Modernist architecture to 'primitive' art. In Britain, Beyer came to know Henry Moore and Nikolaus Pevsner, and was influenced by the artist and poet David Jones. He thus straddles both German and British traditions in lettering as well as the wider art world. This book, profusely illustrated, charts Beyer's increasing sensitivity to words and their realisation in stone. It places his inscriptions, and to a lesser extent his typeface design and sculpture, in context, in the process raising questions about hand lettering itself and what place the making of stone inscriptions may have.

Animal Talk
Animal Talk lets the cat (and the dog) out of the bag-our furry friends have a thing or two to say about life and how to live it. And it's no surprise: They spend a good deal of their time watching us live ours!" -John Lund Every dog has his day," or so the saying goes.

Through his camera, John Lund captures downright human expressions and emotions from our furry friends; these animals speak their minds to us. What does the four-pawed set have to say to us? Well, for starters, we should be a little bit more positive. "Never underestimate the power of a cheerful attitude," advises a smiling bulldog, adding, "A little coffee helps too." Animal Talk reveals what we can learn from our animal friends and will make you laugh when you recognize yourself in the eyes of a defiant Chihuahua or in the wrinkled face of a plaintive bloodhound. Animal Talk is just the book to remind us to laugh at ourselves, to take a cue from our animal friends, and to just live a little!
Photoshop Compositing with John Lund
Many of acclaimed photographer John Lund's images are instantly recognizable. What's not instantly recognizable are the elements that make up these composite images or the Photoshop techniques behind them--to unravel "those" mysteries, you need this beautiful, full-color volume. In these pages, Lund and co-author Pamela Pfiffner show you not just how to reproduce his results but the creative process that generates them. The emphasis here is on simplicity: how to create extremely complex images using a few, fairly simple Photoshop techniques that even beginners can grasp. After providing an introduction to the creative process and conceptual imagery in general, the authors get to the heart of the volume: "the images." Each of the 15 chapters deconstructs an incredible Photoshop compositing process showing the final image--in full-page, full-color glory--with an accompanying description of Lund's creative approach to the assignment, and a detailed, step-by-step explanation of particular techniques used in the project. So how'd he make that fire-breathing dragon? Why, with images of a pet iguana, flame, a wall, and the sky, of course!
