The Taylor Trading Technique
This high-quality reissue of "The Taylor Trading Technique" contains the same time-honored information it did when it was first published in 1950. Taylor's "Book Method" of trading is based on his insights about the repetition of grain market cycles but applies to the financial futures market and others as well. By identifying moves in the market that might fool less-savvy traders into buying or selling at the wrong time, Taylor's system protects against pitfalls while giving you an edge over other traders. Taylor breaks down market movements into three-day cycles comprising a Buy Day, a Sell Day, and a Sell Short Day. These classifications are used to keep tabs on a market's rhythm and identify the ideal moments at which you should enter and exit. This book will help you understand the ways the market fluctuates and develops, so you can create and apply a plan for how best to trade in it. Combined with a bit of practice and a willingness to learn and experiment, "The Taylor Trading Technique" will arm you with a strong system for swing trading in financial futures.

Women and the Book Trade in Sixteenth-Century France
Focusing on the vastly understudied area of how women participated in the book trades, not just as authors, but also as patrons, copyists, illuminators, publishers, editors and readers, Women and the Book Trade in Sixteenth-Century France foregrounds contributions made by women during a period of profound transformation in the modes and understanding of publication. Broomhall asks whether women's experiences as authors changed when manuscript circulation gave way to the printed book as a standard form of publication. Innovatively, she broadens the concept of publication to include methods of scribal publication, through the circulation and presentation of manuscripts, and expands notions of ...
100 Years of Magazine Covers
Showcasing a vast range of titles, from fashion to reportage, and high-end design to counter-cultural fanzines, this collection offers an insight not only into the work of the most influential art directors, publishers and designers of the last century, but into the way that we perceive and represent ourselves and the culture in which we live; our interests, concerns, and aspirations.
Historical Networks in the Book Trade
The book trade historically tended to operate in a spirit of co-operation as well as competition. Networks between printers, publishers, booksellers and related trades existed at local, regional, national and international levels and were a vital part of the business of books for several centuries.

The Business Of Book Publishing
"When the first University of Denver Publishing Institute came to a dose in August 1976, all of us involved in its launching knew that we had a real success on our hands. And we knew it was due in great measure to an outstanding faculty of more than forty top publishing executives who had come to Denver during those four weeks to teach our students. How regrettable, it seemed, that their knowledge and expertise were available only to the eighty students handpicked for that first class. Fred Praeger, publisher of Westview Press, suggested a solution. ""Do a book,"" he invited, ""and let Westview publish the curriculum for others to share."""
Dressing for the Afterlife
Dressing for the Afterlife is a diamond-tough and tender second collection of poems from British Cypriot poet Maria Taylor, which explores love, life, and how we adapt to the passage of time. From the steely glamour of silent film-star goddesses to moonlit seasons and the ghosts of other possible, parallel lives, these poems shimmy and glimmer bittersweet with humour and brio, as Taylor conjures afresh a world where Joan Crawford feistily simmers and James Bond's modern incarnation is mistaken for an illicit lover. Consistently crisp and vivid, these poems examine motherhood, heritage and inheritance, finding stories woven in girlhood's faltering dance-steps, the thrum of the sewing-machine at the end-days of the rag trade, or the fizz and bubble of a chip-shop fryer. And throughout, breaking through, is the sense of women finding their wings and taking flight - "and her wings, what wings she has" - as Taylor's own poems soar and defiantly choose their own adventures.
Document And Eyewitness
The official story of 25 years of the legendary Rough Trade Records. Rough Trade is practically a byword for the history of independent music over the last thirty years. DOCUMENT AND EYEWITNESS: AN INTIMATE HISTORY OF ROUGH TRADE tells the story from the inside of a phenomenally influential record label, through the voices of Geoff Travis, Jarvis Cocker, Robert Wyatt, Green Gartside and many many more. From the early records of Cabaret Voltaire, Kleenex and the Swell Maps, through to groundbreaking releases by The Fall, The Smiths and Scritti Pollitti, on through the collapse of the independent collective and the rebirth of Rough Trade at the turn of the century, this is the definitive, essential account for any serious music fan.
