French Home explores the elements that combine to create spaces that have an identifiably French feel; the classic architectural details that enhance the framework of each room, the beguiling textures and the elegant color palette that flatter various styles of furniture, and exploring the options for lighting, mirrors, and paintings. Josephine also takes a look at furniture, textiles, lighting, ceramics, and glass, and suggests how best to display your French-style treasures.

In Search of the Phoenicians
Who were the ancient Phoenicians, and did they actually exist? The Phoenicians traveled the Mediterranean long before the Greeks and Romans, trading, establishing settlements, and refining the art of navigation. But who these legendary sailors really were has long remained a mystery. In Search of the Phoenicians makes the startling claim that the “Phoenicians” never actually existed.

Josephine Quinn shows how the...
