An essential reference for collectors, dealers, scholars, and interior designers.The furniture designs of William Morris, C. R. Ashbee, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh are even more popular and influential today than in their own lifetimes. Other major nineteenth-century figures, such as William Burges and Christopher Dresser, who were once regarded as eccentric outsiders, are accepted now as great designers, and their work is avidly collected.Jeremy Cooper's survey of this rich and rewarding chapter in the history of the decorative arts contains an astonishing range of photographs and drawings: nearly seven hundred illustrations, many of them in color, offer a uniquely comprehensive coverage of nineteenth-century furniture, from the Gothic Revival to Art Nouveau. Every major designer is represented, and the choice of pictures includes a wealth of little-known furniture from private collections. Rare contemporary photographs of Victorian and Edwardian interiors show how the furniture formed part of complete decorative ensembles.Jeremy Cooper, a well-known dealer and an expert in this field, has written extensive commentaries on the illustrations as well as a text that provides the essential background. 683 illustrations, 74 in color.

The postcard as you’ve never seen it before. This appealing book collects the best of these mail-able, miniature works of art by the likes of Yoko Ono and Carl Andre.
The accessibility and familiarity of a postcard makes it an artistic medium rich with potential for subversion, appropriation, or manipulation for political, satirical, revolutionary, or playful intent. The inexpensiveness of production encourages artists to experiment with their design; the only artistic restriction: that it fits through the mailbox slot. Unlike traditional works of art, the postcard requires nothing more than a stamp for it to be seen on the other side of the world. Made of commonplace material, postcards invite handling, asking to be picked up, turned over, and shown to friends―to be included in our lives.
The World Exists to Be Put on a Postcard features postcards, several reproduced at actual size, designed by notable modern and contemporary artists, including Carl Andre, Eleanor Antin, Joseph Beuys, Tacita Dean, Gilbert &amp; George, Richard Hamilton, Susan Hiller, Richard Long, Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, Dieter Roth, Gavin Turk, Mark Wallinger, Rachel Whiteread, and Hannah Wilke, many of which are published here for the first time. Organized thematically into chapters, such as “Graphic Postcards,” “Political Postcards,” “Portrait Postcards,” and “Composite Postcards,” this book demonstrates the significance of artists’ postcards in contemporary art. 100 color illustrations

This book is a practical manual dealing with a wide range of typical legal problems facing clients of those engaged in social work. It will be a source of reference to social workers and assistants, to those working in the medical and paramedical professions, and to those involved in training in these areas, whether as students or as teachers. Written by a lawyer with considerable practical and teaching experience in this field, the book adopts a straightforward, non-technical style to explain the legal rights of the public in many important areas of daily concern: bad or insecure housing; in the workplace; on the street; welfare benefits; general consumer problems and how to complain about them; the rights of consumers of council services; and the special rights of elderly people, and of physically or mentally disabled people both at home and in an institution. The book also provides details of hundreds of useful sources of further advice and assistance in all these topics.

Covid-19 turned the world upside down in a matter of weeks. Shelter-in-place, quaranting, staying-at-home left many of us not even knowing what day of the week it was. We needed something to add structure to the shapeless hours, a daily reminder that there is always a reason to celebrate. Why not welcome the evenings with Cocktail Hour? Borne from a Facebook challenge to concoct a different cocktail each day, Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner turned the early 50 days of their lockdown into this light-hearted journal. "Cocktail Hour Meets?a Pandemic" offers a back-of-the-napkin account of 50 cocktail recipes, some new and some edited classics (and some definitely better than others), alongside stories about their love of all things Drink, Eat, Travel, and Entertainment. (There is a lot of tequila?plus a spoiled cat.) While frequent get-togethers hosted in pre-Covid times were replaced with Zoom cocktail hours, and travel came from reminiscince, old photo albums and attempts to re-create some of the global cocktail and dining adventures that they have enjoyed since 1997, this work re-counts their journey.Andy and Jeremy are not mixologists, nor do they aspire to be. They prefer that this book - as well as their perfectly imperfect cocktails and photos - reflect the reality of the situation. Some days kind of sucked. Some days brought true joy. Many drinks brought back fond memories of once-in-a-lifetime adventures. But one thing was always certain: cocktail hour gave a reason to raise a glass during those seemingly endless days.If you buy the book (and you really should buy the book), you will laugh a bit and hopefully take away a recipe or two that you can make your own. Andy and Jeremy will even share food recipes upon request! Please note: a portion of all sales will be donated to CORE-a national non-profit that provides financial relief to food and beverage industry employees with children impacted by a health crisis, death or natural disaster.

Cocktail Hour Meets ? A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION is the second in a series of back-of-the-napkin cocktail books resulting from quarantining at home during Covid-19. Little did anyone know when authors Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner published Cocktail Hour Meets ? A PANDEMIC in July that the pandemic would continue and converge, head-to-head, with a very important presidential election. With the non-stop cycle of breaking news, we may not always know what day it is, but we do know there is always cocktail hour! The inspiration for the book came on one of their daily pandemic walks: 45 cocktails in 45 days, starting on September 20, 2020, and ending on election day, November 3, 2020. A cocktail named in honor (memory, respect, or lampoon) of each of the 45 presidents of the United States. (or 46 cocktails in 46 days, starting on September 20, 2020 and ending the day after the election. A cocktail named in honor (memory, respect or lampoon) of each of the 45 Presidents of the United States and the current President-elect.) Mixed in with the cocktails are interesting tidbits about each president (and the president-elect) and a timeline of significant events that occurred during each president's tenure to provide historical context. If you buy the book, you will hopefully learn something new about the men that have led this country and take away a recipe or two that you can probably improve upon. And a portion of all sales will be donated to Vote.org - a national nonprofit that fights for fair elections and against voter suppression.

Cocktail Hour Meets ... L'APERO is the third in a series of back-of-the-napkin lifestyle books resulting from quarantining at home during Covid-19. Little did anyone know when authors Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner published Cocktail Hour Meets ... A PANDEMIC in July of 2020 and Cocktail Hour Meets ... A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in November 2020, that the pandemic would continue well into the Spring of 2021. We may not always know what day it is, but we do know there is always cocktail hour! And along with cocktail hour, this book highlights the French tradition of L'APERO - an early evening get together which features wine (or cocktails), appetizers and, when not isolated at home, time spent with friends. The inspiration for this book comes from Jeremy and Andy reminiscing during the quarantine about past travels that seem so distant, and takes them back to their true loves - food, travel and wine. Cocktail Hour Meets ... L'APERO guides readers through each of the wine regions of France, and includes stories of Jeremy and Andy's past travels, 25 L'APEROs, each highlighting a French wine (and one brandy), and a recipe which pairs well with each beverage. A portion of all sales will be donated to World Central Kitchen - a national nonprofit founded by Chef José Andrés and his wife Patricia that uses "the power of food to nourish communities and strengthen economies through times of crises and beyond.".
