a good read
A Red Dress and Other Poems: Poetry that Speaks by Liz Cowely is the latest book we've fallen in love with. A girly book of poems if ever there was one - all about getting older and those life-changing moments - pure delight.
if fashion and biographies are more your thing then 'Bill Gibb: Fashion and Fantasy' by Iain R Webb and "Yves Saint Laurent Style" by Hamish Bowles and Florence Muller are both ripping yarns. Find both at Amazon.
fiction and non-fictions books written by women for women and about women you'll find at Persephone Books. They do reprints of neglected classics by 20th century women. They all come in the same plain grey jackets and cream title labels, but each has a different end paper to suit the mood and date of the book - a gorgeous touch. They are idea as presents and you can even set up a subscription to recieve a book every 6 or 12 months. Here you'll find a book to suit almost anyone; newly weds, cooks, dog-lovers, gardeners, mothers, daughters, travelers, children, husbands, Londoner's, intellectuals, children and romantics!
the ultimate 'Man-book' is Car's by Stephen Bayley - all about the history of car design, mind you at £75 it's not cheap... www.octopusbooks.co.uk.
