Book Description
The illustrations of Brian Cook from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s have become iconic. His heightened use of colour, in a flat colour poster style, is much imitated, but never surpassed. His jacket covers for the Batsford series of books that celebrated British life are now very collectable. This collection of his best work is a beautiful publication that should be enjoyed not only by collectors but all lovers of good design and illustration. Brian Cook describes his working processes, the then-new printing process that allowed him to pioneer his characteristic bold colours, and the design principles and practical methods of his craft. A stunning book for designers.

The official TV-tie in to the popular Channel 4 programme 'Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages' Explore the most interesting and beautiful examples of British village life in this lavishly illustrated book, published as a companion volume to the highly successful Channel 4 television series, 'Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages'. Featuring gorgeous illustrations and dust jackets from Brian Cook's iconic designs, the book explores the villages as they appeared then and now. It's hard not to be enchanted by rural villages. From thatched roofs, charming churches, bunting, cream teas and the local landscape, they capture our imaginations. Structured by region, this book follows Penelope's journey through Britain across all four series, including the idyllic villages found in the Costwolds, the cosy cottages of East Anglia and the treasures nestled in the North Yorkshire moors. Pictured alongside Brian Cook's iconic illustrations, Hidden Villages of Britain takes you through the fascinating history and the curious customs and characters unique to each village and how they survive in the present. From bog snorkelling in Llanwrtyd Wells and gravy wrestling in Stacksteads to cheese rolling down Cooper's Hill in Brockworth and dwile flocking (where contestants seek to soak their opponents with a beer-soaked cloth outside the village pub), snippets of the history, life and traditions of each village are fully explored. Whether you are looking for a place for your next holiday, a guide to Britain's rural landscape or have a love for Britain's most inspirational settings, this book is perfect for the armchair traveller.

Book Description
The journey began as a vacation, I did not want to go. My husband said, "Go, you've earned it! My co-worker and I were off. Mr. Raymond Barrette, tour guide at Half Moon Equestrian Center, took us on a tour of Montego Bay. God let me see with His eyes, people who do not know the love of Jesus. I felt a call to return to this land--Jamaica. At an early age I made a commitment to God to go to the mission field. Thirty years later, after raising a family, with the blessings of my husband, I returned to Jamaica in answer to that call. I saw the majesty of God in this land. I felt His power being the only white person in the community I was accepted. These people truly looked beyond the color of my skin to my heart changing it forever. There are so many who do not know of Jesus, the salvation He offers so freely. It's our prayer that hearts will be changed through the pages of this book, and the steps that my friend and guide, Mr. Barrette, and I have taken on this journey.
