Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The American Museum in Britain was a unique institution when it opened its doors in 1961 and it remains so today: the only museum devoted to American decorative art that is located outside the boundaries of the United States. Founded by an American psychiatrist and an English antiques dealer, the Museum has welcomed over 3 million visitors to its dramatic setting in Bath, overlooking the Limpley Stoke Valley. In this series of short essays, the Museum's director, Richard Wendorf, offers his personal perspective on selected items within the Museum's wide-ranging collections, which include quilts, folk art as well as 'academic' paintings, items associated with trade in China, prints and maps, photographs, statuary and other carved objects, and the Colonial and early Federal furniture for which the institution is famous. In addition to addressing particular items, Wendorf also includes ruminations on the definition of the decorative arts and on the characteristic qualities of folk art painting. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Oval is one of the world's great cricket grounds. It was here in south London in 1882 that the legend of the Ashes was born, and many of the game's most memorable events have taken place here, including Don Bradman's duck in his final innings and Kevin Pietersen's coruscating 158 that sealed England's 2005 Ashes win. Home to Surrey County Cricket Club since it opened in 1845, the Oval also staged England's first international football match and the first FA Cup Final, and has hosted everything from American football to rock concerts. This official guidebook provides a fascinating introduction to the Oval, covering its history, architecture and the people who have made it what it is today, from ground staff to sporting heroes. It is illustrated throughout, with images ranging from archival photography of the ground's earliest days to the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy Final. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Following the success of our publication for Collect 07, we are delighted to be working with the Crafts Council again to produce a book featuring the very latest examples of contemporary craft shown at one of the most influential art fairs to have emerged in recent years.

It is the only fair in Europe devoted to contemporary applied arts and aims to raise the profile of contemporary craft within the UK and internationally, to encourage private and public collecting, which has resulted in some major acquisitions for galleries and museums, and to stimulate debate about contemporary craft generally.This beautifully designed and comprehensive book includes an essay on the practice of craft by acclaimed furniture maker, John Makepeace; a thought piece on the distinction between craft and applied art by New York art dealer, ceramics expert and writer, Garth Clark; an interview with Sarah Griffin by journalist and TV producer, Emma Crichton-Miller, and an overview on collecting craft by Andrew Renton, Head of Applied Art at the National Museum of Wales.

Paperback. Condición: Fine. The collection includes around 530 paintings, 7,000 drawings and 15,000 prints, as well as significant holdings of mediaeval, Renaissance and modern sculpture, ceramics, metalwork, furniture and textiles. The gallery's unique and intimate atmosphere reflects its origins as a 'collection of collections', largely formed through a series of major gifts and bequests made by some of the leading collectors of the 19th and 20th centuries. These include Samuel Courtauld (1876-1947), Roger Fry (1866-1934), Thomas Gambier Parry (1816-1888), Viscount Lee of Fareham (1868-1947) and Count Antoine Seilern (1901-1978).To reflect the importance of these individual collections, the displays at the Courtauld Institute Gallery are currently arranged by collector. Offering a fresh look at well-known masterpieces from the collection, this installation presents fascinating insights into the tastes of individual collectors, as well as the aesthetic debates which informed the periods in which the core collections were formed. The next title in Scala's prestigious series on the greatest collections of the world, this lovely book selects the highlights from these diverse collections. Outstanding paintings, drawings and works of decorative art are accompanied by short informative texts written by the curators of one of the most important art institutes in the world.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The latest addition to Scalas prestigious art spaces series is one of the most prestigious buildings of all: The Great Court at the British Museum. The two-acre square, enclosed by a spectacular glass roof, transforms the Museums inner courtyard into the largest covered public square in Europe, with the world-famous Reading Room at its centre. Designed by Foster and Partners, the #100 million project transformed one of the lost spaces of London, hidden from public view since 1857. While the Louvre created a new circulation space beneath its massive courtyard, topped by I.M. Peis pyramid, the British Museum covered its rather smaller court to create a magnificent central space leading directly into the galleries on each side. The curves of the glass roof, traced out by the structural glazing give the space much of its character. Written and researched in collaboration with Foster and Partners and the British Museum and drawing on Fosters superb image archive, this is a magnificent little book on a world famous site. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

To follow up the popular book Cathedrals of the Church of England, Janet Gough and the ChurchCare team now explore the other 16,000 churches of the Church of England, from the parish churches at the nation's heart to the restrained splendour of royal foundation King's College Chapel, Cambridge. First and foremost places of worship, they have also been integral to England's history. One church has been chosen from each diocese to showcase their varied architecture, art, treasures and uses, from the delight in finding internationally renowned brasses and wall paintings in unassuming Trotton parish church (c.1300) to the ethereal ship-like Ripon College chapel, Cuddesdon, completed in 2013. The fresh and perceptive pen portraits of each church are illustrated with images by the acclaimed photographer Paul Barker. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

The British Library at St Pancras opened to the public in April 1998 and no other project in Britain since the building of St Paul s Cathedral is comparable in time-scale or the magnitude of controversy surrounding it. Professor Sir Colin St John Wilson spent the greater part of his working life on the project, from 1962 onwards, when various schemes for a building adjacent to the British Museum were proposed, through to the completion phase of the present design. This fascinating little book, joining Scala's successful Art Spaces series, reveals how Professor Wilson and his team responded to successive changes in the Brief, while determinedly maintaining a commitment to the very highest quality in all aspects of a building designed to last 250 years.

AUTHOR: Professor Wilson was formerly Head of the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge, and the author of two important books on the history and theory of architecture. He has his own practice in North London. He is uniquely placed to give both an account of the development of the design concept of the building and to tell the story of its construction.
