Black Heart Billy 25th Anniversary Deluxe Hardcover - Rick Remender
Limited edition to one printing only! After decades in comic-book exile, the absurd skatepunk cult classic BLACK HEART BILLY returns, celebrating 25 gloriously questionable years of terrible choices, filthy living, and a long-forgotten punk-rock ideology all wrapped up in the last thing it deserves, a fancy hardcover.Meet Billy Black: skate-punk misfit with a robotic head, a bottomless supply of sarcastic contempt for society, and terrible impulse control. His life is a never-ending quest for fun, punk rock debauchery, and skating abandoned pools-- until a deranged Nazi scientist decides to bring Adolf Hitler back inside the reanimated corpse of Jerry Garcia. Now, San Francisco is rapidly descending into a fascist hippie nightmare and only Billy, armed with snide disdain, a baseball bat, and reckless disregard for personal safety, can defeat this self-righteous, patchouli soaked, moral authority. Created by the dynamic duo of RICK REMENDER (GROMMETS, THE SCUMBAG) and KIERON DWYER (SEA OF RED, Captain America), BLACK HEART BILLY is a joyful mash-up of comic absurdity, irreverent satire, and non-stop anarchic action. This stylish hardcover collects the entire original run in original black & white, plus a treasure trove of previously unseen goodies and a new afterword that Remender probably wrote in a nostalgic delirium.

Indeed, his best book yet, which is saying something!' - John Lewis-Stempel, author of MEADOWLAND'A book to savour month by month as the seasons turn. Loved it!' - Lara Maiklem, author of MUDLARKING 'The Sherlock Holmes of Nature' - BBC RadioWhen we know what to look for and what it means, seasonal moments that were once hidden shine brightly. In The Hidden Seasons, Tristan Gooley shows us how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather give us - but that we continually miss, because we don't know how and where to look. Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi. Spring is the time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes and curious animal behaviour. Summer is a time of coastal clues, astronomical extremes and secret grass patterns. And in winter, we learn to read snow, deepen our star knowledge and use rare methods to find clues in overlooked places, including indoors. As with Tristan Gooley's bestsellers The Walker's Guide, How to Read Water and How to Read a Tree, The Hidden Seasons inspires us to explore these signs for ourselves, giving us many rich insights into our turning year. Soon we will be able to anticipate and celebrate daily changes that few notice, however surprising they may be. And the seasons will never look, sound or smell the same again.

Drawing from the darkest corners of Caribbean mythology, acclaimed author Sarah Dass crafts a chilling tale of magic, murder, and how far we’ll go to protect what’s ours—perfect for fans of Angeline Boulley and Tiffany D. Jackson.Unlike the other residents of the small Caribbean island of St. Virgil, Selina DaSilva does not believe in magic. With a logical mind and a knack for botany, Selina used to dream of leaving home with her boyfriend, Gabriel, and starting a new life together far away—until a vicious, unsolved attack left her father dead and her mother in a coma.Two years later, her guilt over her mother’s condition keeps her tethered to the island, relegated to using her mother’s legacy as St. Virgil’s most talented (and most feared) psychic to con desperate islanders and gullible tourists with useless talismans and phony protection rituals. But when one of those tourists ends up at the center of a string of strange murders, the truth that Selina has been denying can no longer be avoided: There is evil lurking in the forests that surround St. Virgil. Another thing that can’t be avoided? Selina’s now ex-boyfriend, Gabriel, who’s returned home for the first time since Selina broke up with him.Desperate to put an end to the killings and claim justice for Selina’s parents, these two former lovers must race to find answers. But darkness is no fool. And evil bides its time. As long-hidden secrets about Selina’s family begin to reveal themselves, Selina knows only one path to the truth remains—and it waits in the forest.Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of the Disney+ hit series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

The Effortless Experience - Dixon Matthew, Rick DeLisi, Nicholas Toman
A new breakthrough idea about how to win customer loyalty from Matthew Dixon, the bestselling author of The Challenger SaleEveryone knows that the best way to create customer loyalty is with service so good, so over the top, that it surprises and delights. But what if everyone is wrong?In their acclaimed bestseller The Challenger Sale, Matthew Dixon and his colleagues at CEB busted longstanding myths about sales. Now they''ve turned to a new vital business subject - customer loyalty - with a book that turns conventional wisdom on its head.Companies devote untold time and resources trying to dazzle customers. Yet CEB''s careful research proves that is wildly overrated: loyalty has a lot more to do with how well companies deliver on their basic promises than on how dazzling the service experience might be. Forget bells and whistles and just solve your customer''s problems. The Effortless Experience lays out the four pillars of a low-effort customer experience, with robust data, inÂsights and profiles. Here are tools and templates you can start applying right away to improve service, reduce costs, and ultimately generate the elusive loyalty that the ''dazzle factor'' fails to deliver.The rewards are there for the taking, and the pathway to achieving them is now clearly marked.''A business detective story, in which cherished truths are systematically investigated-and frequently debunked'' -Dan Heath, coauthor of Decisive, Switch, and Made to StickMatt Dixon is Executive Director of the Sales & Service Practice at CEB.

Mark-Making Through the Seasons - Helen Parrott
A creative and practical guide on how to get in touch with your local natural world to create thoughtful works of textile art. Filled with projects and step-by-step techniques, this book is perfect for textile students and professionals alike.Renowned quilter and textile artist Helen Parrott explores the creative potential of your local surroundings and teaches you the processes and techniques used to create beautiful textile artworks. Drawing on the Slow Stitch movement, she explains how mark-making techniques can be used meditatively to record personal lives and surroundings influenced by seasonal changes of colour, energy and light. She encourages you to connect to your own locality, whether it be urban or rural, at home or on holiday, and its specific seasonal aspects in order to create a personal, working cycle of textile art.The book is divided into seasons; from learning how to spot the first signs of Spring to recording seasonal characteristics – equinox through to solstice – Helen teaches you how to be in tune with your environment. Each location will have different signs, so each artwork will truly be unique. Techniques and projects are also covered in this book: she first teaches you the basics of both hand and machine stitch techniques, working with free-form stitching, chain stitch, corded quilting and then moves onto appliqué, blackwork and dyeing. The techniques build in complexity ending with pieced textiles and collages. Helen also explores how to work with dot and line, repeating patterns, light and shadow, colour (and lack of colour), plant structures and people in landscapes.The last chapter consolidates techniques you''ve learnt in the book and showcases finished works from her exhibitions, as well as the Bradford Textile Archive, to help you better understand where inspiration leads.
