Everyday Objects
This book is about the objects people owned and how they used them. Twenty-three specially written essays investigate the type of things that might have been considered 'everyday objects' in the medieval and early modern periods, and how they help us to understand the daily lives of those individuals for whom few other types of evidence survive - for instance people of lower status and women of all status groups. Everyday Objects presents new research by specialists from a range of disciplines to assess what the study of material culture can contribute to our understanding of medieval and early modern societies.

Cameraless Photography
This volume is a remarkable historical survey of photographic images created without a camera. Cameraless Photography presents a concise historical overview of photographic images created independently of a camera. It surveys the corresponding techniques—including photograms, chemigrams, luminograms, dye destruction prints, and more—used to create those images. The book features one hundred key images from more than one hundred and seventy years of history, ranging from the earliest experiments in chemical photography, such as those by Anna Atkins in the nineteenth century, through seminal avant-garde photograms of modernists such as Man Ray in the 1920s and 1930s to the latest digital processes by Susan Derges. Visually compelling, Cameraless Photography is an outstanding introduction to the significant cameraless processes used throughout the history of photography and the cameraless work of some of photography’s greatest names.
The Kelmscott Chaucer
The Kelmscott Chaucer is the most memorable and beautiful edition of the complete works of the first great English poet. Next to The Gutenberg Bible, it is considered the outstanding typographic achievement of all time. There are 87 full-page illustrations by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and the borders, decorations and initials are drawn byWilliam Morris himself. Only 425 copies of this magnificent work were produced in 1896, and this beautiful monochrome facsimile, slightly smaller than the original, makes this glorious book available to all. A fascinating Introduction by Nicholas Barker places the book and its importance in context. The main text is followed by a black and white facsimile of ANoteby William Morris on his Aims in Founding the Kelmscott Press, together with a Short History of the Press by S C Cockerell.

La prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jehanne de France
Blaise Cendrars' narrative about his life-changing journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway is a poem of memory and movement. Sonia Delaunay's designs create a parallel path as the reader slips down the palette while swimming through a river of words.
