Watches
"Just over ten years ago, at Sotheby's New York salesroom, the hammer fell on Lot 7, an 18-karat gold pocket watch crafted in 1933 by the famed Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe for New York banker. It had just fetched an astonishing price of $11,002,500. Ten years later, its record price has yet to be broken. Watches are more than miniature marvels of engineering; indeed, they are more than just collectibles: they are items of jewellery that command huge prices and make fashion statements about the wearers. As individual as other accessories such as handbags and shoes, they have been a focus of attention ever since they reached a larger market. In Watches: Eye on the Time, designer Tessa Paul examines the history of the watch concentrating on the last half of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries. Each of the ten chapters includes spreads on major watchmakers or recognized high-end retailers - Rolex, Tissot, Tag-Heuer, Cartier, Swatch - as well as many images of watches throughout the decades." --Publisher description.

Shoes
This book opens with a short history of shoes—an introductory essay that traces the development from prehistoric times through to today. This introduction is illustrated using museum shots of historic shoes and will prove a useful prequel to the banquet of footwear that follows. The bulk of the book looks at the great designers of the post World War II era, concentrating on the big names of today—Charles Jourdan, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Fratelli Rosetti, Sergio Rossi, Walter Steiger, Jimmy Choo, Roberto Cavalli—while at the same time allowing the outrageous and inspirational—Westwood, Galliano, and fashion school students—to show the other; more outrageous end of the market. If nothing else, this book will allow the reader to learn why fans like Madonna say “Manolo Blahnik’s shoes are as good as sex, but they last longer.”
Fairytale Apocalypse

The young mortal, Lauren Montgomery, hears the message of Danu and eagerly agrees to be the Lady of the Verge, for she desires more than a mundane life.

The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of Saints
The broad-ranging introduction of this book unravels the myths that surround sainthood, explaining why pious heroism is described through legend and how relics signify the reality of the saints. Then, the second half of the book is an illustrated encyclopedia of over 500 saints, in chronological order from the Apostles to saints of the 20th century, encompassing saints from all over the world. The life and work of each saint is described. Far more than a dictionary of saints, this book explores the conditions of sainthood and tells the lives of the saints. It offers a comprehensive, modern approach to this fascinating subject.

This Is a Thriller
The late 1950s and early 1960s were the golden years of horror television. Anthology series such as Way Out and Great Ghost Tales, along with certain episodes of Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, were among the shows that consistently frightened a generation of television viewers. And perhaps the best of them all was Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff. In Thriller the horror was gothic, with a darker, bleaker vision of life than its contemporaries. The show's origins and troubled history is first discussed here, followed by biographies of such key figures as producer William Frye, executive producer Hubbell Robinson, writers Robert Bloch and Donald S. Sanford, and Karloff. The episode guide covers all 67 installments, providing airdate, production credits, cast, plot synopses and critical evaluations.
